Mark Zuckerberg Just Gave $990 Million To Charity
This morning, Mark Zuckerberg announced plans to give 18 million Facebook shares to charity by the end of the month.
Facebook is currently trading at $55 per share, so Zuckerberg's gift is worth just under $1 billion.
The money will go toward Zuckerberg's foundation, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation andThe Breakthrough Prize In Life Science, a Noble Prize-like award.
2013 was a year in which there was a serious backlash against the idealism of Silicon Valley.
