Facebook is currently trading at $55 per share, so Zuckerberg's gift is worth just under $1 billion.
The
money will go toward Zuckerberg's foundation, the Silicon Valley
Community Foundation andThe Breakthrough Prize In Life Science, a Noble
Prize-like award.
At
only 26 years of age, Mark Zuckerberg is one of the world's youngest
billionaires, but he's not keeping it all for himself. By signing on to
Bill Gates and Warren Buffet's initiative called the "Giving Pledge,"
Mark agreed to give most of his wealth to charity.
This
is not Zuckerberg's first foray into philanthropy; he donated an
undisclosed amount to the open social network project Diaspora as well
as $100 million to Newark Public Schools. He spoke about the Newark
donation on Oprah, explaining his dedication to help fix the public
school system.
The Giving Pledge, however, is a
completely different ball game. Along with 57 other multi-millionaire
and billionaire families and individuals, including Warren Buffet, Bill
Gates, Paul Allen and Carl Icahn, by signing the pledge Zuckerberg
promised to give more than half of his wealth to charity, either during
his lifetime or after his death.This morning, Mark Zuckerberg announced
