- danieltillett 8y agoIs his life that much better than if he had taken the money and run? I am a big believer that the best life is found at the upper, upper middle class level where you have enough money to do almost everything you want, but where you can walk down the street without bodyguards.

Zuckerberg wanted power, not more money.
