Mark Zuckerberg 30th birthday has created internet buzz as the billionaire and founder of the globally popular social networking site Facebook seemed to be celebrate his natal day with the entire world.
A majority of people were well wishers in the occasion of Mark Zuckerberg's 30th birthday, who shared some of his quotes through social media sites. Some lightly poked at his trademarked hooded sweatshirt, which was his known fashion sense during his formative years.
Some of his quotes were also highlighted, such as "What would you do if you weren't afraid?" and "Move fast and break things."
But most of the slight barbs during Mark Zuckerberg's 30th birthday stemmed from previous comments in the past about how "young people are smarter".
For him, young people have simpler lives, which makes them focus their brainpower on "what's important", unlike older people who are "distracted by families."
"There is an incredible and weird kind of ageism that exists in tech startups in Silicon Valley," said one Reddit commenter in a forum that focused on Zuckerberg's statements about how people over 30 were described as "old slugs".
Mark Zuckerberg found success after developing Harvard University's student website, which was initially named "The Facebook". After going public in 2004, the company has grown in leaps and bounds through the years.
Its revenue has amounted to $7.87 billion for 2013, and a net income that amounted to a total of $1.50 billion for the same year. It has also acquired a number of social media platforms include messaging service WhatsApp, and the popular photo sharing service Instagram.
Facebook's overnight success has ultimately left Mark Zuckerberg a wealthy fortune, as he has an estimated net worth of $25.3 billion as of April 2014. He was also named the 2010 Time Magazine Person Of The Year, and was part of Forbes' List of Youngest Billionaires of 2013.
