The 26 year old multi billionaire is the popular magazine’s “People of the Year”.

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and chief executive of the huge but life debilitating, considering the number of unproductive hours that people spend, social networking website known as Facebook.

But it’s not just the number of hours Zuckerberg compels Facebook users to spend online, it’s also not his billions of dollars, the college dropout has another facet to his greatness, he is also becoming a prominent force in the world of philantropy.

Vladimir Putin was the recipient of the 2007 title. In 2008, another national chief executive was given the prestige, the newly elected President Barack Obama became 2008’s “Person of the Year”. While a less familiar name claimed the tiel in 2009, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke received the award.

Earlier in the year that he was the person of the year, that’s 2010, Millionaire donated 100 million dollars or £63.8 million over five years to the school system in Newark, New Jersey, even 100 million dollars less in his bank account, he’s still a multi billionaire and the funds that he donated is still just a petty fraction of his huge value of assets.

And meanwhile, we mere mortals have to tighten our belts this holiday season. But Gadgetepoint can make you feel that life is not that unfair since it gives you options that are cheap.
