Well put together and utterly depressing.

What makes it depressing?

Divya Narendra (bottom), who came up with the idea, got less than 1/1000 what Mark Zuckerberg -- who executed on the idea -- received. Goes to show that ideas are worthless.

No, ideas aren't worthless, they're just worthless without execution.

I've got tons of ability to execute, and so do most of the people on this website, but what most of us lack are ideas to act on.

These ideas aren't specific to web-app concepts, either. They could be marketing ideas, or ideas for new datatype implementations, or the next trendy datastore.

I think this is something that a lot of hackers miss. You might be the smartest coder on the planet, but if you don't have something to code, then you're Stradivarius sitting in a box on a shelf.

Ability to execute is something that almost everybody who has ever seriously uttered the phrase "idea guy" lacks.

Since the ConnectU case was settled out of court, isn't it incorrect to state this as a fact? No court ever ruled on this, unless I am missing something.

"worthless"? More like "worth 18.7 million"!

Why is the total from the left column only %72.669, who owns the rest?

aaronblohowiak• 15 years ago

other employees, i imagine

anigbrowl• 15 years ago

That's the question the website exists to discover an answer to.

mingramjr• 15 years ago

Probably current employees.

They all wish. Shouldn't the "convicted felon" be at the top?

FB is estimated at $85B and only 6 non-founding employees are worth more than $20M? Is this a full list?

KishoreKumar3• 15 years ago

Wait a minute! That doesn't add up to 100%. They all add up to only 72.669%. What happened to the rest 27.331%?

KishoreKumar3• 15 years ago

I don't get it. How come Mark Zuckerberg owns only 24%? How are these shares distributed among these holders as it grew from a four person startup to this big giant company? Can any one point me to the complete story? I guess that will be a valuable read for fresh startups like us.

"Only"?!

24% is a remarkable position for Zuckerberg to have maintained to this point, considering the amount of money they've raised and the "public" market cap of Facebook. Many founder/ceos of much smaller companies find themselves at around 10-20% after two or three rounds.

"after two or three rounds" : What does it mean?
