Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are spending $3 billion in an attempt to end, cure or manage all disease by the year 2100. In January 2019, Mark Zuckerberg purchased $59 million worth of waterfront property on Lake Tahoe in California.
Zuckerberg started Facebook at Harvard in 2004 at the age of 19 for students to match names with photos of classmates. He took Facebook public in May 2012; he now owns about 13% of the company's stock. Facebook changed its name to Meta in November 2021 to shift the company's focus to the metaverse. In June 2021, a judge dismissed antitrust cases brought by states and the federal government, which could have forced Facebook to sell off Instagram and WhatsApp. In December 2015, Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, pledged to give away 99% of their Facebook stake over their lifetimes.
