With Internet Week in full bloom, it was only proper to wish Facebook founder/CEO and ridiculously rich gazillionaire, Mark Zuckerberg a very Happy Birthday. The social media mogul turns just 28 today but is richer than Donald Trump twice over and has literally changed the world.
Not bad for an under 30-year-old!
Happy Bday Zucks!

Join other like-minded young professionals on the Museum’s Arthur Ross Terrace for an evening of cocktails, jazz, and most importantly awesome solar system science! We've said it before, and we'll say it again, AMNH is the best museum ever. Seriously. Dinosaurs, cavemen, a planetarium --it really does not get any better than that. To top it off, they throw some amazing parties. This season's annual Young Philanthropists Gala included glowsticks, DJ Jus-Ske, surrounded by gigantic elephants and other mammalian life. If you want to see how our last night at the museum went down, go here. There will also be a special discussion by the Museum’s director of astrovisualization, Carter Emmart. So what's it all about? In a nutshell:

The Biebs has finally graduated high school after years of late night studying. Between Baby Baby Baby scandals, launching women's perfume, and having Selena Gomez wrapped around his waist half the time, the YouTube sensation managed to complete his degree in basic functional education. Though not by his own will. Apparently the pop tart wouldn't have bothered to finish if it weren't for his level-headed mother. He recently told The Telegraph:
"That was something my mom really wanted me to do, so I had to do it for her. I mean, this kind of lifestyle has given me a different perspective on life. I've been able to travel the world. At school, usually you have to do a lot of writing and reading. I'm really not into that stuff. I like to be out there."
