World youngest billionaire and CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg welcome his first baby on December 2. He and his wife Priscila Chan welcomed a baby girl who they named Max.
As a way to commensurate her presence into into the world, Mark decided to give 99% of Facebook shares to charity,estimating about $45 billion.
When asked what prompted him to give out such fortune early in his life on Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg replied "Two main ideas have led us to start early. First is that we have a lot to learn and giving, like anything else, takes practice to do effectively. So if we want to be good at it in 10-15 years, we should start now. Second is that any good we do will hopefully compound over time. If we can help children get a better education now then they can grow up and help others too in the time we might have otherwise waited to get started".
