However, after 12 years of dropping out of Harvard to devote all his energy to Facebook, he returned to school to receive his prestigious university degree. At the same time, Zuckerberg also gave a speech to this year's graduating students.

After receiving the prestigious degree, he took a photo with his parents, Mr. Edward Zuckerberg and Mrs. Karen Zuckerberg, with the message: "Mom, I told you I would go back to school to get my degree."

In 2004, at his school dormitory, Zuckerberg founded a social network called "The Facebook" for students to connect with each other on campus, which later spread to other Ivy League universities.

And Zuckerberg returned to the same dorm room where he created Facebook with his co-founders, Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum and Chris Hughes.

Even when the company headquarters moved to California, Zuckerberg remained on Harvard's enrollment list until November 2005 when he announced to the press: "I will not be going back to school."

It is known that Zuckerberg received his prestigious degree after 12 years of dropping out of school, much faster than Bill Gates. Mr. Gates dropped out of school to build Microsoft in 1975, but it was not until 2007 that he received his prestigious degree.

Last week, Zuckerberg posted a video of himself beaming with joy after hearing the news that he had been accepted to Harvard University.
