In a 2014 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, comedian Andy Samberg revealed that Mark Zuckerberg not only persuaded him to join Facebook, now a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), but also personally set up his account and remained his only friend on the platform.
What Happened: Samberg recalled the unusual story when Fallon asked if he was on Facebook. "Well, do we have time for a funny story?" he replied. "I am actually on Facebook, but I only have one friend. It's a private account and I have one friend."
When Fallon asked who it was, Samberg answered, "Mark Zuckerberg."
Samberg said the two had become friendly after Zuckerberg appeared on Saturday Night Live and later invited Samberg to visit Facebook's offices. During their visit, Zuckerberg was shocked to learn Samberg didn't use Facebook.

"I said, ‘If you set up my account and you're my only friend, so I can tell this on a talk show&#8230;' and he agreed," Samberg said.
But things didn't go exactly as planned. The "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" actor began receiving emails and friend requests from Zuckerberg's contacts. "I texted him and was like, ‘Hey man, I hate to do this to you, head of Facebook, but I think I need some tech support here.'"
Zuckerberg responded like any good friend would. "He was so cool about it. He was like, ‘Go into your settings …&#8217;" Samberg said. "Of course, it totally worked."

Why It's Important: This story resurfaced just as Zuckerberg is about to celebrate his 41st birthday this week — a milestone for the tech mogul who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/36937315/happy-20-facebook-if-you-invested-1-000-in-mark-zuckerbergs-social-network-when-it-went-public-1">turned a dorm-room project</a> into a $1.6 trillion empire.
Over the years, Zuckerberg has faced enormous challenges: government investigations, public distrust over privacy and misinformation, and a risky pivot to the metaverse that drew skepticism across Wall Street.
He's also been criticized for being robotic or emotionally detached — something he's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/03/25943191/is-mark-zuckerberg-a-robot-heres-how-he-was-put-to-the-test">acknowledged publicly</a>.
The Meta CEO currently has a net worth of $226 billion, making him the third wealthiest person after Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in Bloomberg's Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Once Set Up A Facebook Account For Brooklyn Nine-Nine Star Andy Samberg, Then Personally Played Tech Support When Things Went A Bit Haywire

President Donald Trump is facing scrutiny after confirming plans to accept a Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) manufactured 747-8 from Qatar to serve as Air Force One. The decision has raised significant security and ethical concerns among lawmakers and experts.
What Happened: Trump confirmed plans to accept a Boeing 747-8 from Qatar to serve as Air Force One. The aircraft, valued at approximately $400 million, is intended to replace the current Air Force One for the remainder of his term, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5296641-jack-reed-trump-qatar-plane-counterintelligence-risks/">reported</a> The Hill.
Senator&nbsp;Jack Reed&nbsp;(D-R.I.), the leading&nbsp;Democrat on the Senate Armed&nbsp;Services Committee, expressed grave concerns on Monday about the potential counterintelligence risks posed by using a foreign-donated plane. Reed emphasized that employing this aircraft could give a foreign nation&nbsp;access to sensitive systems and&nbsp;communications.
Reed criticized the decision as a &#8220;reckless disregard for national security&#8221; and a &#8220;betrayal of trust&#8221; in safeguarding U.S. sovereignty. Despite Trump&#8217;s assertion that the gift is a &#8220;great gesture&#8221; from Qatar, even some Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader&nbsp;John Thune&nbsp;(R-S.D.), have voiced reservations over ethical and security implications.
Thune acknowledged the delay in delivering the next Air Force One, however, he said, &#8220;Whether or not this is the right solution … I don't know.&#8221;
Trump&#8217;s ally,&nbsp;Laura Loomer, also condemned the acceptance of the aircraft, labeling it a &#8220;stain&#8221; on the presidency. The Boeing 747-8 would require extensive retrofitting for secure communications and defense, potentially costing hundreds of millions and taking years to complete, as noted by aviation experts.

Why It Matters: The acceptance of the Boeing 747-8 from Qatar has sparked a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/05/45338985/trump-reportedly-set-to-accept-flying-palace-from-qatar-white-house-says-lavish-gift-of-boeing-jumbo-jet-complies-with-all-applicable-laws">wave of criticism and concern</a>. The Trump administration is preparing to receive this luxurious aircraft from Qatar's royal family, with the White House stating that the gift complies with all applicable laws. However, this has not quelled the backlash.
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and economist Peter Schiff have also <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/05/45340930/trumps-400-million-boeing-jet-gift-from-qatar-sparks-outcry-from-larry-summers-peter-schiff-banana-republic-level-corruption">voiced their disapproval</a>, with Summers describing the situation as &#8220;banana-republic-level corruption&#8221; on social media. He questioned why universities face scrutiny for accepting Qatari research gifts while the president can receive such a lavish present.

Trump's Qatar Plane A 'Reckless Disregard For National Security,' Says Jack Reed: 'Betrayl Of Trust' In Protecting US Sovereignty

Mark Zuckerberg may be <a href="https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/">worth over $200 billion today</a>, but back in 2003, he was just a Harvard sophomore in trouble for a prank and flirting with a freshman in the bathroom line. That freshman? Priscilla Chan—his now-wife and the one person who ever made him agree to terms before signing on the dotted line.
The two dated for nearly a decade before tying the knot in 2012, in a low-key backyard ceremony held the day after Facebook's IPO. At the time, Zuckerberg was just 28 and worth about $19.1 billion, as <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-05-17/facebook-ipo-makes-zuckerberg-richer-than-google-founders">reported by Bloomberg</a>.&nbsp;
No public prenup has ever surfaced—but make no mistake: there were rules.
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.30/share!</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
</ul>
According to <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/rules-for-new-husband-mark-zuckerberg-to-live-by/">The Daily Beast</a>, long before vows were exchanged, Chan laid out a relationship agreement. And no, it didn't include stock options or luxury clauses. It required:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>One dedicated date night per week</li>
<li>At least 100 minutes of alone time together</li>
<li>And zero time at Facebook HQ—or in his apartment—during that allotted time</li>
</ul>
The deal was a prerequisite before she agreed to move to Palo Alto. Not legal, but personal. And reportedly, they've stuck to it ever since.
Since then, they've built not just a company and a life together—but a family. The couple now has three daughters and continues to maintain a fairly private but active home life. In 2024, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DAjKMZ0ykOx/">Zuckerberg shared</a> that one of their daughters wrote and illustrated her own children's book using Meta's AI tools. They've also been spotted attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour together.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Last month, Zuckerberg opened up on the <a href="https://youtu.be/zbfOkhrgxH0?si=xiJDi7D3G77rDBA8">"This Past Weekend W/ Theo Von" podcast</a> about what romance looks like now. Spoiler: not a yacht or diamond drop. "She's pretty simple on this stuff," he said when asked about extravagant dates. Instead, he shared that his love language leans creative—like working with sculptor Daniel Arsham to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45241490/thats-weird-mark-zuckerberg-gifted-his-wife-a-7-foot-tall-turquoise-statue-of-herself-but-says-i-dont-think-she-was-that-happy-with-it">make a statue of Chan</a>, which now lives on their lawn…much to her amusement.
"She's kind of the target of my creative energy," he joked, adding that she wasn't exactly thrilled about having a sculpture of herself in the front yard, but "she thinks it's sweet."
He's also designed her a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45124694/mark-zuckerberg-says-his-wife-wanted-a-minivan-so-he-designed-a-porsche-hes-pretty-sure-should-exist-and-made-it-a-his-and-hers-set">custom Porsche-minivan hybrid</a>—because apparently if you're Mark Zuckerberg, that's a love letter.
So no, there's no paper trail of a prenup. But Chan didn't need legal docs to lock in boundaries. She set her terms early—and it turns out, when your future husband is building Facebook, quality time becomes a power move.

Warren Buffett has worn the title of "richest man in the world." He's built one of the most powerful holding companies in history. And he's spent decades casually throwing around billion-dollar deals like most people swipe for lattes.
Yet, in his own words, he doesn't need the money.
In 2021, in a statement titled "Comments by Warren E. Buffett in Conjunction with His Annual Contribution of Berkshire Hathaway Shares to Five Foundations," Buffett wrote:
"Over many decades I have accumulated an almost incomprehensible sum simply by doing what I love to do… Society has a use for my money; I don't."

</ul>
<a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/warren-buffett/">According to Forbes</a>, he's donated roughly $62 billion since 2006—part of his long-standing pledge to give away more than 99% of his wealth. Unlike many billionaires who cling to their fortunes or spend it on jets, islands, or ego projects, Buffett's message has been the same: he doesn't need it, he doesn't want it, and he's more than happy to let society put it to better use.
Buffett has made it clear—again and again—that money holds no personal appeal. In a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2016-11-02/warren-buffett-money-has-no-utility-to-me-time-does">2016 interview on "The David Rubenstein Show"</a>, he said, "Money in terms of making trips or owning more houses or having a boat or something — it has no utility to me whatsoever."&nbsp;
This is a man who could buy a skyscraper every time he gets bored—but he lives in the same house he bought in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43612207/warren-buffett-has-lived-in-his-31500-home-for-67-years-and-calls-it-one-of-his-best-investments-but-warned-a-house-can-be-a-nightmare">1958 for $31,500</a> and says no other home would make him happier. He drives a 2014 Cadillac with hail damage. He drinks Cherry Coke like it's water.&nbsp;

And while the average millionaire might spend weeks negotiating over a single property, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44464242/warren-buffett-said-i-love-your-business-i-love-you-ill-give-you-4-billion-but-refused-to-cross-an-ocean-to-see-a-business-before-buying-it">Buffett once bought a $4 billion company</a>—Israeli metal giant Iscar—without ever stepping foot inside. Another time, he acquired the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44067982/heres-how-warren-buffett-made-billions-from-an-industry-he-didnt-understand">RV company Forest River after a 20-minute chat</a> with the founder.
Although in 2021—when he made the statement about accumulating "an almost incomprehensible sum"—his plan was to give his fortune to five foundations, that's since changed.&nbsp;
In 2025, Buffett revised his estate plan: the remaining $130 billion will instead be transferred to a charitable trust overseen by his three children—Susan, Howard, and Peter. All decisions about how the money is distributed must be made unanimously, a structure Buffett believes will lead to careful, collaborative giving.
Buffett calls his brand of giving "painless," because he's not giving up anything he personally needs. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45240439/ive-made-no-sacrifice-warren-buffett-has-given-away-60-billion-but-says-giving-time-is-more-admirable-ive-done-little-of-that">"I've made no sacrifice,"</a> he said. And he means it. His joy doesn't come from spending—it comes from doing what he loves: investing, building, buying, and reading company reports for fun.

Media network CBS has dominated the prime time ratings for more than a decade and helped boost the financials for Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) and subscribers for the company's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/streaming"> Paramount+ streaming platform.</a>
With concerns over a pending merger and pressure from President Donald Trump, could TV success offset a declining stock price?
What Happened: Paramount Global has a pending merger with Skydance Media. The merger has faced regulatory pressure and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44793888/trump-attacks-60-minutes-for-unlawful-and-illegal-behavior-could-president-derail-merger"> fight from Trump</a> to take away CBS's FCC broadcast license over past "60 Minutes" episodes could keep the stock from breaking out.
Paramount's CBS Television segment could be a bright spot and shows no signs of slowing down.
As reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/biz/news/cbs-upfront-victory-lap-matlock-cheeks-reisenbach-1236393491/">Variety</a>, CBS chose to release its 2025-26 season schedule ahead of media company upfronts, which is when they show off their lineups and new content to advertisers.
Likely helping CBS's decision were several victory laps taken by George Cheeks and Amy Reisenbach over the network's streak of 17 consecutive years as the most-watched network. CBS also has eight of the top 10 most-watched series on television and 16 of the top 25 based on Nielsen data.
CBS has newer hit shows that include "Tracker" and "Matlock." These hit shows and originals have provided a boost to Paramount+, where CBS programs get around half of the total viewing on the platform, according to the report.
"The bottom line here is, our broadcast hits are becoming instant streaming hits," Cheeks said.
Producer Taylor Sheridan has spawned several hits for CBS, including the "Yellowstone" franchise and has more series in the works for CBS, adding more excitement to the company's lineup of returning programs.
"We made some very strategic scheduling moves that will reinforce the schedule that clinched us our 17 seasons at the most-watched network. This is a lineup that's going to be cohesive and has flow with compatible programming each night and throughout the week, and provides strong launch pads for all of our new series," Reisenbach added.

Why It's Important: The success of the television segment and a look ahead at what's to come comes as Trump has put pressure on CBS and "60 Minutes," an item that could delay or end the company's merger hopes with Skydance Media.
"This is a disruptive and challenging time for our industry," Cheeks said at the recent event, choosing not to answer questions outside of CBS programming.
"We have to focus on what we control, which is building an amazing schedule."
With the merger in limbo, shareholders face the decision of sticking things out for the combined company or the realization that a merger not going through could send shares lower and force the company to show valuation from the CBS assets on its own.
Paramount <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45358172/paramounts-super-bowl-boost-and-studio-strength-help-offset-streaming-miss-analyst">reported first-quarter</a> revenue of $7.19 billion, beating Street consensus estimates. The company's television segment had revenue of $4.54 billion, beating estimates, while direct-to-consumer revenue of $2.04 billion came in shy of estimates from analysts.
The company's guidance suggests streaming could face tough comps going forward, putting more pressure on the television segment to continue to perform well and be the top-ranked network for the 19th straight year.
PARA Price Action: Paramount stock closed at $11.95 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $9.54 to $13.40. Paramount stock is up 13% year-to-date, with shares down 8% over the last year.
