Description
Creator of the image: Associated Press
Date of the image creation: 2011
Medium of the image: Photograph
Person depicted: Mark Zuckerberg
This photo shows Mark Zuckerberg (1984–) at a meeting in San Francisco. Zuckerberg is the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Facebook. As Forbes Magazine records: ‘In the 2008 edition of the World’s Billionaire List, a small, red-faced profile picture of Mark Zuckerberg appeared on the cover of Forbes. Billed as the youngest of the 1,125 billionaires that year, “that Facebook kid” was inside the magazine — yes, wearing a hoodie and Adidas sandals — and on the list with a net worth that clocked in at a cool $1.5 billion.’ As of 2011 when the photograph was taken his company was about to surpass $100 billion market capitalization.
The story of this Harvard drop-out turned tech-baron is well known. David Fincher’s feature film The Social Network portrays the fanatical ambition and disconnected, unacknowledged sadness of the world of the tech-entrepreneur. In this photograph, the young multi-billionaire holds his head high and looks out at an avid audience ready to receive a question that he knows in advance and already has the right answer. His expression is confident, relaxed and proud, with his mouth held in a stunted smile that seems to radiate self-satisfaction.
