Anyone know how Zuckerberg avoided the same thing happening to him? Bezos was a 30 year old with a decade of experience in finance, I assume he was quite savvy. But Zuckerberg was a teen.

      Or Shauns. (Oh holy fucking mother of Baa[l], only now it struck me that the name of the animatronic series by the Wallace-and-Gromit guys is of course a play on Shorn the sheep!)

As far as I can tell, Zuckerberg's true talent is being thrown into situations he has no life experience to handle and appropriately picking the right people to surround himself with and listen to.

  >Zuckerberg's true talent is being thrown into situations he has no life experience to handle and appropriately picking the right people to surround himself with and listen to. This seems to be falling apart for him right now, as a bunch of those people have recently left FB. But yeah, I generally agree with your main point, he does seem to be very good at this.

They did it to others? They knew ownership and control was paramount and acted accordingly.

He had more power, because Facebook was an obvious rocket ship. So he could make better deals for himself when it came time to finance, and retain a controlling share in the company. If the board tried to fire him, he could just fire the board.
