He is the founder right? So why he owns only 26%?
Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.

Only Mark Zuckerberg is working at facebook now (He's CEO).

Other founders have left facebook, they all own a small % of facebook.

Large % of facebook is owned by investors who gave facebook money.

Facebook has raised more than 2 billion from investors.
