Thanks. You know what they say about puff pieces- They almost always have the best scoops.
"Mark Zuckerberg’s mother and father are still running the same dental business they did before Facebook was founded.
Known as ‘Painless Dr Z’, Ed Zuckerberg founded the business in 1978 but refuses to retire because his career is his ‘baby’"
< dentists, painless, won't retire, baby? FUNNY? Or Not?
"His family home has remained the same for decades, with little furniture, a small kitchen and the only obvious luxury a row of theatre style seats in front of a big TV."
Ed Zuckerberg has also not touched the two million shares in Facebook his son gave him as a thank you for helping him set up the business, a gift he initially refused by eventually accepted.
They are now worth around $60million."
<And plummeting by the day…>

"Ed Zuckerberg works out of a dental office around the side. In town, he is known as “Painless Dr. Z.”
Ed promptly laid down ten grand for a new and more powerful computer, the IBM XT, and accompanying accessories. He installed the machine in his office. “Oh, it was awful,” he tells me. “Close to a second mortgage and barely any active memory.”
The place has changed little in the decade since Mark Zuckerberg left home, first for boarding school and then for Harvard,
Karen, now a licensed psychiatrist, was enlisted as his office manager—“my most overqualified employee,” Ed says. A few years later, Karen briefly attempted to return to psychiatry but returned home after a year. “She saw those people in the chair,” Ed recalls, “and she didn’t want her kids to turn out to be one of them.”
Boarding school, eh? Wonder if he got out a 2nd mortgage for that?
