I had the idea for Facebook at the same time Zuckerberg did it. Why aren't I a billionaire?

  You had the idea at the right time, but did you have the idea at the right place? Zuckerberg had it at Harvard. There was prestige and an aura of exclusivity associated with Facebook in the early days, which was integral to its viral growth. Don't get me wrong, I think Zuckerburg is a pretty competent player, but he clearly had a lot of things going for him and working in his favour.

    More like he had connections through his days at Harvard to people with more connections and money and hands on the levers of power. Whatever though.

  The turning the idea into reality part was implied.
