With such vast resources at his disposal

It’s no surprise that Mark Zuckerberg is often seen as a major influencer within the tech industry. His knowledge and experience continue to shape both how we communicate online and what can be done using technology today. It’s thus safe to say that while Mark Zuckerberg may not technically be in charge anymore when it comes to day-to-day decision-making at Facebook, his presence remains strong — both within the company itself and beyond its walls.


Dustin Moskovitz Dustin Moskovitz has had a remarkable career, starting media directors email lists from being one of the co-founders of Facebook to now owning 7.6% of the company’s lucrative shares. Moskovitz attended Harvard University with Zuckerberg and other early members of the original Facebook team. Along with two roommates, he helped create what would later become known as “Thefacebook” in early 2004 before it grew into the social media behemoth that it is today.


After leaving his job at Facebook in 2008, Moskovitz went on to found Asana, a workplace collaboration tool for teams, which later became successful. In 2013, Forbes listed him as one of America’s Youngest Billionaires based on his estimated net worth of over $5 billion following the start-up’s success and his stake in Facebook. Peter Thiel Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, has one of the most impressive investment portfolios in tech history due to his stake in Facebook, acquired at a discount when it first went public on the NASDAQ in 2005.
