Sorry I can't up-vote any article that mentions Mark Zuckerberg as one of the world's "SuperClass". Does anyone really think Facebook has, even within an order of magnitude, the same world-wide pull as the Fed? I'm pretty sure Bear Stearns didn't call in their VPs through Facebook Chat.

I disagree with you. I think the influence of facebook (and other social networks), especially in helping to bring large groups of people together for a common cause, is understated. Also, mark Zuckerberg is one of the worlds SuperClass, at least if your basis for this is on wealth,as hes worth at least $1 billion.

"hes worth at least $1 billion"

On paper.

Together, he and I are worth one billion twenty-four dollars and eighteen cents.

On paper.

Can't the same be said about just about anyone with sufficient assets? Seriously. I'm pretty sure if he wanted to realize the value of his stake in fb, there would be willing buyers. See bebo.
