1
+ Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, is now officially a billionaire. Until now, Mr. Zuckerberg has been staggeringly rich only on paper.
2
+
3
+ On Tuesday, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, the 28-year-old founder completed the sale of 30.2 million Facebook shares at $37.58 each. That will give Mr. Zuckerberg a not insubstantial $1,134,916,000 in cash.
4
+
5
+ Previously only a paper billionaire, he is now a real billionaire.
6
+
7
+ Other Facebook employees will not be as lucky. The S.E.C. maintains a 180-day lockup period for employees, their friends and family, and venture capitalists.
8
+
9
+ The transaction appears to have been done so Mr. Zuckerberg can pay his not unsubstantial taxes. If Mr. Zuckerberg decides in the future to go on a shopping spree and buy, say, a small country, he still owns more than 500 million shares, which are worth over $15 billion even as the price dips.
10
+
11
+ It’s a good job Mr. Zuckerberg didn’t wait until Wednesday to sell his first chunk of shares. The company stock closed at $32 even, which would have netted him only $966 million. And as we all know, being a millionaire isn’t cool. A billionaire, on the other hand, now that’s cool.

Until now, Mr. Zuckerberg has been staggeringly rich only on paper.</p><p>On Tuesday, according to a <a href="http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1326801/000120919112029812/xslF345X03/doc4.xml">Securities and Exchange Commission filing</a>, the 28-year-old founder completed the sale of 30.2 million Facebook shares at $37.58 each. That will give Mr. Zuckerberg a not insubstantial $1,134,916,000 in cash.</p><p>Previously only a paper billionaire, he is now a real billionaire.</p><p>Other Facebook employees will not be as lucky. The <a href="http://www.sec.gov/answers/lockup.htm">S.E.C. maintains</a> a 180-day lockup period for employees, their friends and family, and venture capitalists.</p><p>The transaction appears to have been done so Mr. Zuckerberg can pay his not unsubstantial taxes. If Mr. Zuckerberg decides in the future to go on a shopping spree and buy, say, a small country, he still owns more than 500 million shares, which are worth over $15 billion even as the price dips.</p><p>It&#8217;s a good job Mr. Zuckerberg didn&#8217;t wait until Wednesday to sell his first chunk of shares. The company stock closed at <a href="https://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&amp;q=NASDAQ:FB">$32 even</a>, which would have netted him only $966 million. And as <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285016/quotes">we all know</a>, being a millionaire isn&#8217;t cool. A billionaire, on the other hand, now that&#8217;s cool.</p></div> <footer class="entry-meta"><div class="toolsListContainer horizontalMenu js_share_data" data-sharetitle="Mark Zuckerberg Officially a Billionaire" data-shareurl="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/24/mark-zuckerberg-officially-a-billionaire/" data-sharedescription="Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, officially became a billionaire Tuesday after selling more than 30 million Facebook shares."><ul class="toolsList wrap"><li class="facebookItem"><a class="js_share_facebook">Facebook</a></li><li class="twitterItem"><a class="js_share_twitter">Twitter</a></li><li class="linkedinItem"><a class="js_share_linkedin">Linkedin</a></li><li class="toolsSubListContainer"> <a class="toolsSubListControl toggleSubList js_toggle_toolssublist">Share</a><ul class="toolsSubList closed" style="display: none; "><li class="toolsSubListControl openSubList" style="opacity: 0; "><a class="js_open_toolssublist">Share</a></li><li class="toolsSubListControl closeSubList" style="opacity: 0; "><a class="js_close_toolssublist">Close</a></li><li class="redditItem" style="opacity: 0; "><a class="js_share_reddit">Reddit</a></li><li class="tumblrItem" style="opacity: 0; "><a class="js_share_tumblr">Tumblr</a></li><li class="diggItem" style="opacity: 0; "><a class="js_share_digg">Digg</a></li><li class="shareAd js_share_ad" style="opacity: 0; "></li></ul></li></ul></div><div id="related-content" class="entry-related module wrap"><div class="entry-category column"><h4 class="moduleHeader"><a href=""></a></h4><p></p></div><div class="relatedArticlesModule column lastColumn"><h4 class="moduleHeader">Related Articles Also Tagged:</h4><p class="refer tagRefer"> <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/mark-zuckerberg/">Mark Zuckerberg</a>, <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/wealth/">wealth</a></p><ul class="refer articleRefer"><li><h6><a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/22/zuckerbergs-property-status-post-marriage/" title="Zuckerberg&#8217;s Property Status, Post-Marriage">Zuckerberg&#8217;s Property Status, Post-Marriage</a></h6></li><li><h6><a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/19/mark-zuckerberg-ties-the-knot/" title="Zuckerberg Ties the Knot">Zuckerberg Ties the Knot</a></h6></li><li><h6><a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/18/daily-report-the-reticent-rich-in-silicon-valley/" title="Daily Report: The Reticent Rich in Silicon Valley">Daily Report: The Reticent Rich in Silicon Valley</a></h6></li><li><h6><a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/18/general-mark-zuckerberg-reporting-for-duty/" title="General Mark Zuckerberg, Reporting for Duty">General Mark Zuckerberg, Reporting for Duty</a></h6></li><li><h6><a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/13/disruptions-facebooks-real-life-spidey-sense/" title="Disruptions: Facebook&#8217;s Real-Life &#8216;Spidey Sense&#8217;">Disruptions: Facebook&#8217;s Real-Life &#8216;Spidey Sense&#8217;</a></h6></li></ul></div></div> </footer> </article><hr /><div class="postNavigation nocontent"><ul class="opposingFloatControl wrap"><li class="element1"> <span class="previous">Previous Post</span> <a class="postTitle" href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/24/daily-report-questions-of-fair-play-arise-in-facebooks-i-p-o/" title="Daily Report: Questions of Fair Play Arise in Facebook&#8217;s I.P.O.">Daily Report: Questions of Fair Play Arise in Facebook&#8217;s I.P.O.</a></li><li class="element2"> <span class="next">Next Post</span> <a class="postTitle" href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/24/video-was-facebooks-i-p-o-fair/" title="Video: Was Facebook&#8217;s I.P.O.

+ Well, that�s one way to get some attention for your product launch.
2
+
3
+ Manpacks is announcing a new Startup Perks program, and to promote it, the company mailed boxes of free condoms to more than 100 startups, including Path, Udemy, Scribd, and GetAround. Supposedly, the boxes started arriving today � includes a custom URL where workers at that specific company can sign up for the program.
4
+
5
+ Co-founder and CEO Ken Jonson says Manpacks has been working to build a corporate perks program aimed at larger organizations, but then he decided it felt �a little weird� to leave out startups. So it�s launching with startup perks, then expanding to more corporate targets in a couple of months.
6
+
7
+ Basically, the program allows entrepreneurs and their employees to sign up for discounted Manpacks shipments, which include things like underwear, socks, razors, and, yes, condoms � things that guys may not want to spend time shopping for.
8
+
9
+ Startups may be the ideal customer base for Manpacks, since people at a startup often put their lives on hold and work ridiculously long hours, so anything that reduces the time spent on the responsibilities of everyday life will probably be welcomed.
10
+
11
+ So why the condoms? (It probably won�t help with the complaint that startups are increasingly dominated by a �brogrammer� culture that�s hostile to women.) Johnson says he wanted to do �fun and a little irreverent.� I�d say he succeeded.
