I'm more interested in his salary.

Why? Most of these guys are rich from shares of stock, not their salaries. Heck, Steve Jobs doesn't even take a salary.

Larry Ellison gets about $9.37 million. That's nothing compared with his net worth. He'd have to work for 2,668 years to reach $25 billion.

And some thing with Warren Buffett. His annual salary is $100,000. There are plenty of engineers in Silicon Valley who make more than that. Heck, a top-scale police officer in San Jose draws a higher salary than the richest man in the world.

Zuckerburg has got to be the luckiest little bastard ever. Facebook is such a gigantic turd, what a joke.

depends on how bad he plays his card, Zuckerburg might become one of the biggest suckers in history for loosing his billion when facebook valuation becomes comparable to that of friendster.

lol - Zuck's 1.5B is worth like equal to 100B for the older guys.

it's worth more the younger you are.

I think VW gets paid to write about worthless "tech" companies like facebook and its founders. There is just no other justification.

@Zoo: I too want to know salary.

@BartKela: Unless he cashed out early with a new round.. his 'worth' is completely paper.. until he exits its all theoretical worth. I want to know his actual salary.. whats in his actual bank account.. I could give less a crap what his shares are worth in regards to that latest rediculous valuation microsoft gave facebook. Besides that valuation and investment was just a coverup for an advertising deal.

@ItsBusinessBaby: Why is that.. are you suggesting that depending on how he invests his money it could be worth more by the time he's a comparable age?

I'd love to see a poll on who'd invest if FB went public. I for one wouldn't buy a single share. Facebook has no more room for valuation growth. They're at their peak, only place to go is down. Which really only leaves the option of acquisition in my opinion.

I think there was a typo -- It meant 1.5 billion Vietnamese dongs right???

@Zoo:

They are already past their peak...

Zuckerberg is worth whatever he has in his checking account. Until he cashes out, don't bother worrying about what Z is worth. It's a private company. My company is worth $70trillion.
