Watch 19-year-old Mark Zuckerberg explain 'The Facebook' in his first TV interview in 2004 via CNBCMakeIt
Today, Mark Zuckerberg's net worth is estimated at more than $64 billion. And With over 2.3 billion users and a market value of nearly $500 billion, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't know about Facebook.
In that interview with CNBC's Becky Quick, the future billionaire described his website as a place to"find some interesting information about people," and"an online directory that connects people through universities and colleges through their social networks there." "Cool" indeed. In 2008, Facebook made Zuckerberg a billionaire , according to Forbes, which estimated his worth then at $1.5 billion. Facebook was reported to be valued around $15 billion at the time, but according to Forbes, investors thought that was high.
Of course, Facebook did build a massive business from its users' eagerness to connect with one another and share their personal information online. Now, Zuckerberg and Facebook are facing increased criticism over online privacy issues and just how the company leverages users' data to make billions of dollars each year .
