Mark Zuckerberg Is Donating A Whopping $45 Billion On Daughter's Birth


The youngest billionaire in the world is now a father. Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla welcomed a daughter into the world yesterday. Inspired by Maxima’s birth (yes, that’s the name they have given to the baby girl), Zuckerberg who’s already known for his charitable endeavours, made a big announcement. He will be donating 99% of his Facebook shares, valued at $45 billion.

Visibly excited and emotional, Zuckerberg and Priscilla also penned down a letter addressing their want of a better future for their daughter and other children all over the globe. In the letter, Zuckerberg announces that he’ll be giving away a whopping 99% of Facebook’s shares to charity.  The shares are worth over $45 billion and the money will be targeted towards child development, internet.org, and other charitable avenues.

He also elaborates on how this money will eventually help in advancing human potential and promoting equality. He also points out the fact that only long-term investment will help in establishing a better future.  With this pledge to charity, Zuckerberg has now joined the league of tech tycoons who have in the past given away their multi-billion fortunes. The list includes the likes of Bill Gates, Tim Cook and Elon Musk.
