Mark Zuckerberg became the most powerful man on the planet at the end of 2015. The American magazine Vanity Fair published the rating of the most influential people. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg topped this rating. Being a 31-year-old man, Mark Zuckerberg became the youngest person to be included on this list as well as to be at the head of it. According to Vanity Fair executive editor Graydon Carter, the young genius “stands out as something of an elder statesman." In fact, he created a social network, which unites a record number of people. Facebook allows people not only to become aware of the public opinion, but to shape it. Zuckerberg's idea unified millions of people around the world bypassing state borders. According to experts establishing the rating, Zuckerberg is not only a brilliant entrepreneur, but he is a person who may well become one of the world-renowned top executives of the future. Citing Carter, the evolution of Zuckerberg’s business from a small dorm room at Harvard University into a company worth $240 billion is “just his first step toward world domination in the realm of social networking.” Facebook has become an integral part of modern life. Not only close relatives and friends communicate via the social network. Professional communication and common interest contact take place frequently on Facebook.
