1. Caring much about his privacy though Facebook is very "open-minded"

He does not like facing the media, and rarely do that. He does not seem to like the spotlight, even though Facebook's development needs him to do."

2. Having strange interests

The personal interests he listed include: making things, minimalism, breaking things, revolution and openness. His favorite musicians include the Linkin Park and the United States electronic music queen, Lady Gaga.

3. Fascinating with classical literature, owning imperial ambitions

Zuckerberg grew up in Dobbs Ferry, New York. He attended the best high school in the United States - Phillips Exeter Academy. He learned Latin, there and became a lover of classical literature. Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard after studying for two years so as to pursue the career of Facebook. The Wall Street Journal reporter Jessica Vascellaro wrote, "He was well known by memorizing Iliad and other epic poems"

He also developed some games, which themed by classical literature. "His first important program is based on classical literature,"

Zuckerberg also developed the theme in classical literature of the game. "Zuckerberg the first major development program is based on classical literature," Risk "adaptation of a game."

That person is the former Yahoo CEO Terry Semel. He told the New Yorker that he never meet such a person who is indifferent to money before. No one would refuse his generous offer of 1 billion. But Zuckerberg said, "This is not a problem of money. The website is my child and I would like to bring him up myself. " When Semel recalls this conversation, he still can not believe his ears.

Harvard University's newspaper has also reported the event. "That's not what we are really interested in." When referring to Yahoo's desire regarding the acquisition of Facebook in 2004, he said, "What I mean is that we do make a lot of money but that is not the purpose.
