New Dad: Mark Zuckerberg Pledges to Give Away 99% Of His Facebook Share

In celebration of the new born baby, Max, Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife has pledge to commit 99% of their Facebook share to join many others in improving this world for the next generation.
According to FoxNews, Zuckerberg’s wife, Priscilla Chan, gave birth to a 7-pound, 8-ounce daughter last week. But the couple didn't put out the news until Tuesday, when Zuckerberg posted it on Facebook.


Here is Mark’s letter as shared on Facebook:

"Priscilla and I are so happy to welcome our daughter Max into this world! For her birth, we wrote a letter to her about the world we hope she grows up in.

It’s a world where our generation can advance human potential and promote equality — by curing disease, personalizing learning, harnessing clean energy, connecting people, building strong communities, reducing poverty, providing equal rights and spreading understanding across nations.

We are committed to doing our small part to help create this world for all children. We will give 99% of our Facebook shares currently about $45 billion during our lives to join many others in improving this world for the next generation.

Thank you to everyone in this community for all your love and support during the pregnancy. You’ve given us hope that together we can build this world for Max and all children.”
