Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has shared pictures of his 40th birthday bash where he can be seen enjoying the occassion with friends and family. During the celebrations, Zuckerberg can also be seen sitting along with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates in what seems to look like a college dorm.
The pictures showcase Zuckerberg sitting on a chair wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans with a golden chain around his neck. Meanwhile, Bill Gates is seen sitting close by on a couch, wearing what seems to be a black hoodies and shorts.
While the picture could lead one to think that the two tech leaders are in a college room, it is actually a replica of the Harvard room where Zuckerberg started Facebook. Other pictures shared by Zuckerberg are from other places that matter in his life including his first childhood bedroom, first apartment, office lockdown and Pinocchio’s Pizzeria.
Sharing his birthday celebrations in a post on Instagram, Zuckerberg wrote, “Grateful for my first 40 years! Priscilla threw me a little party and recreated a bunch of places I lived in the early days,”
Notably, both Zuckerberg and Bill Gates have been to Harvard University at one point or the other but later dropped out in order to pursue their dreams of starting a company.
‘I was allowed to throw a bash’ says Priscilla Chan:
Zuckerberg’s wife Priscilla Chan also shared some pictures from the celebrations as she revealed that the Meta top executive doesn’t allow her to throw a big party for his birthday but he made an exception for the special occassion.
She wrote in an Instagram post, “Mark doesn’t usually let me go big for his birthday but for his 40th I was allowed to throw a bash as long our friends and family also roasted him. We all had a blast! Let’s just say that no one suffered from a lack of material!”
“Jokes aside, as I reflect on the 21 of Mark’s birthdays we have spent together, one of my favorite things about Mark is how he really, truly believes in people. He sees the potential in all of us. I have no idea what adventures are coming next, but I’m here for all of them. Here’s to many more” Chan added
