(Video) Mark Zuckerberg to Give $100 Million to Newark Schools; Is it a PR Ploy?
According to multiple media outlets, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is donating $100 million to the Newark public school system. The 26-year-old billionaire is scheduled to announce the donation on the Oprah Winfrey show Friday. Some are speculating that the donation is being made to counteract any negative publicity Zuckerberg might garner from the release of "The Social Network," a movie which reportedly casts him in a negative light. Below is "The Social Network" trailer.

Post a CommentAnyone who is giving anything away (big or small) and needs to do it with fanfare is hoping for PR to follow in the wake! The best givers are the ones whose names we will never know! cheers :)
That's a nice donation, no matter the reason.
Hmmm, seems a bit much but I guess we'll see.
