Zuckerberg gets the degree
Facebook founder and one of the richest persons in the world, Mark Zuckerberg, has bagged an honorary degree from Harvard University.

He was awarded an honorary degree in Law.

The 33-year-old, who dropped out of Harvard 13 years ago to start what would become Facebook, returned to the institution to receive the degree.

‘Mom, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree,’ he wrote afterwards.

Zuckerberg’s also been billed to give the commencement address for his class of 2017, taking after world’s richest man, Bill Gates, who also dropped out of Harvard.

He would be the youngest of all time to give the commencement speech.

Recall that Zuckerberg started Facebook in 2004 at his dorm room and also met his wife, Priscilla Chan at Harvard.
