Gee, Mrs. Cleaver, can Wally come out?

How about his name? Does Mark Zuckerburg ring a bell?

Before you know it, bada-bing, bada-boom, his company is worth $15 billion and his net worth is an estimated $1.5 billion. That’s billion with a B. Number 321 on the list of the 400 richest people. At 23, he was the youngest self made billionaire in the U.S. and in the world. You know you’re rich when you can lose $499 million and still be a freaking billionaire.

Ten years ago, this dude was probably playing with pokemon cards at recess, now he’s loaded down with more dollar bills then there are people in the USA. Eat your heart out, Bill Gates. Tom can’t touch that kind of money.

But here is the main point. When I was 23, I was busy drinking 75c tequila shots at Wichita bars on the weeknights chasing women of questionable character. At that same age, this guy was working on a revolutionary social networking platform and amassing stupid amounts of money while he was doing it. Okay, so I don’t really think Facebook is all that, but it’s alright for what it is. As overrated as the website may be, you can’t deny that this kid has some serious dough.

Granted, this article was written in September before the stock market started tanking. Facebook might have shed some of its value on Wall Street. Our young hero might have lost a little bit of his net worth, but I don’t think babyface here is going anywhere soon. He’ll be up in Omaha playing bridge with Warren Buffett in no time.

That is, if he’s not too busy hanging out in a vault full of coins that he can swim in like Scrooge McDuck.
