It’s no surprise that Mark Zuckerberg made it onto this list— we all are very familiar with his little company called Facebook. Today, Facebook has 1.86 billion users. That’s more users than WhatsApp, Twitter and Instagram combined. Billions of people use Facebook as their main form of communication, major news source and general form of entertainment.

Facebook has touched the lives of more than one person on this list— financially, that is. Dustin Moskovitz is an internet entrepreneur and one of the co-founders of you guessed it, Facebook. Moskovitz attended Harvard alongside Facebook creator, Mark Zuckerberg and eventually he (and another business partner Chris Hughes) moved away from the prestigious school to further their business in Palo Alto, CA. At one time, Moskovitz served as the social media network’s first technology officer and vice president of engineering.
Eduardo Saverin
