    Facebook's CEO and wife to give 99 percent of shares to couple's foundation



    SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Mark Zuckerberg will put 99 percent of his Facebook Inc(O:FB) shares, currently worth about $45 billion, into a new philanthropy project focusing on human potential and equality, he and his wife said Tuesday in a letter to their newborn daughter.
    The plan, which was posted on the Facebook founder and chief executive officer's page and has attracted more than 360,000 'likes', follows other high-profile billionaires such as Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates, who have set up foundations to dedicate their massive fortunes to philanthropic endeavors.
    Zuckerberg, 31, who will control the new initiative and remain in charge of the world's largest online social network, said he would sell or give up to $1 billion in shares in each of the next three years.

    By making the shares a charity he doesn't have to pay capital gains taxes. Only loser in this case is taxpayers.

    Who gives a rats ass? Who does he need to impress by having a "hot wife?" He's obviously not shallow like many wealthy people.

    He has no "financial" issues and never will. At his levels, it's just a matter of doing whatever makes him happy and fulfilled, and for him obviously a big part of that is making a real difference in the world and the future. Not too many like him. She probably shares his vision and makes him a better person.

    You guys are clueless. This stunt is nothing but a ploy to avoid paying taxes. Bill gates and Warren Buffet did the same thing. These billionaires always find a way to avoid taxes and while they do that the stupid mass of people always pat them in the back.

    easy to give away when you still have hundreds of millions afterwards. A true charitable person is the person that gives up that wealth to live with average means. Then this would be a wow but all it really is, is a guy who has more money then he can spend

    What is the point of announcing this to the public? If you want to give your money away, just do it. Guy wants a pat on the back. Fukk him.

    Who does that? Who has ever done that? I'd say giving up 45 out of 46 billion is pretty significant.

    Who would not announce a 45 BILLION DOLLAR initiative. That stuff don't happen in secret. If he didn't announce, it would be discovered and then you'd be suspicious. Of course he's going to announce it.

    AN FRANCISCO/BENGALURU (Reuters) - Facebook Inc (O:FB) Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said on Thursday he and his wife would receive no tax benefit from setting up their new philanthropic endeavor as a limited liability company and hinted at the types of efforts it would support.
    In a post on his Facebook page, he wrote that "just like everyone else, we will pay capital gains taxes when our shares are sold by the LLC."
    While reiterating that the entity, called the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, would focus on areas like education and disease, he indicated the efforts would be similar to philanthropy he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, had already supported.
    Their recent donations include $20 million to Education Super Highway, which helps connect classrooms to the Internet, and a new acute care and trauma center at San Francisco General Hospital, where Chan works as a pediatrician. Chan and Zuckerberg said on Tuesday that 99 percent of the stock they hold in Facebook would go toward the philanthropic project over their lifetimes. At the stock's current price, that stake is worth $45 billion.
    Responding to a comment he would pay "ZERO tax" for the initiative's investments that was made in reply to his Facebook post on Thursday, Zuckerberg denied that was the case.
    "Please don't spread inaccurate information," he posted.

    Does anyone remember when facebook was created... and everyone was afraid to put up profile photos? I remember creating a profile when it first came out. Thought the website was a pos. 2 Years later.... I hear radio advertisements talking about facebook. Log back in... and it was semi popular. Then about 90 days later... it seemed like everyone made a profile in the universe.

    I'm still trying to figure out how the guy made it interesting???? When it was first released.... myspace was 10X better than facebook. Just saying... in case people forgot.
