10 Things You Didn't Know About Mark Zuckerberg

1. Color-Blind
Mark Zuckerberg is red-green color-blind, which is part of the reason why the Facebook we know today is blue!

2. Multilingual
Being able to read and write in five different languages - English, Hebrew, Latin, French, and Ancient Greek - means that Mark will never have to worry about blessing a sneeze, no matter what country he's in

3. Star Wars!
As a child, Mark had his Bar Mitzvah in the theme of a Star Wars party. Became a man, he did.

4. A Perfect Smile!
Zuckerberg Senior had a career as a dentist while Mark was growing up. As a result, Mark doesn't have a single cavity.

5. No Time For TV
It must be hard work being the brains behind the most popular social network in the world. Mark claims he doesn't own a television!


6. Stage Fright!
Zuckerberg hates public speaking, which is probably a bad thing, considering his job involves a lot of public speaking. Maybe a career as a postman is on the cards?

7. ZuckNet
Social networking in 1996! Mark created ZuckNet - an instant messenger service - on an Atari BASIC, which his family used to communicate.

8. The Music Man
Zuckerberg also invented an automatic playlist creator while in high school, rejecting seven-figure bids in order to distribute it for free. Great business sense, that lad.

9. Fencing
Don't get in a fight with Mark! At least, not if he has a sword! Zuckerberg was named MVP of his high school fencing team.

10. Shakira!
Mark has a very eclectic taste in music, enjoying the talents of Green Day, Daft Punk, Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and Shakira!
