So what? Google made its first $100MM profit 5 years after and went public 6 years after its incorporation in 1998. Its meteoric rise really started in mid-'05, nearly 8 years after they cashed Andy Bechtolsheim's check for $100K that started it all. AdSense, for example, came in company's 5th year. (And Google happens to be an exceptional case of a web company with such a rapid rate of growth and subsequent ability to persist. Most others fare much worse.) Whether it's worth as low as $3 billion or as high as $15 billion, now or in three years, what Zuckerberg has achieved in wealth creation would be immensely higher than anybody else's record on this list, including you, wouldn't you say? -- Kontra http://counternotions.com ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
