More than 1 billion people now use Facebook each day, on average, viewing videos more than 8 billion times daily. A shift to mobile advertising has driven up the social network's revenues. And a year after buying virtual reality startup Oculus, Facebook announced it would start shipping the Rift VR headset in early 2016. Zuckerberg founded the social network in 2004 when he was 19 and dropped out of Harvard to move the company to Silicon Valley. Since launching its Internet.org initiative in July 2014, Facebook has given free basic Internet services to more than a billion people in 19 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. In May Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, were among the funders who invested a combined $100 million in AltSchool, a new company working to promote high-tech personalized education. In June the couple also donated $5 million to a college scholarship fund for undocumented immigrants. In a surprisingly personal Facebook post in late July, Zuckerberg revealed that he and his wife are expecting a baby girl after 3 miscarriages.
