I think he had a big payday when Facebook became publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

But, I too, am confused, as to why Facebook is worth anything as a business. Is it because of pop up ads???

Forgive my ignorance; neither I or anybody I know do Facebook,, so don’t know anything about how they operate.

But have wondered, if it’s a free site to users, how exactly do they make any money?

Facebook sells information, which is used to target advertising to you. They also have ads on the sidebar, but that aspect of the business has been hurt by the ascendancy of mobile devices.

I imagine if you post “I want to buy some shoes” on Facebook, you will soon get ads for shoes, as you browse the internet. Zuckerberg gets a penny or two to make that happen...but he deals in volume.
