The Accidental Billionaires

Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg - an awkward maths prodigy and a painfully shy computer genius - were the archetypal social misfits of polished, elite Harvard. Yet one day master-hacker Mark created a rateable database of female students, which was so popular it crashed the university's server. Narrowly escaping expulsion, the two friends refocused the site into something less controversial - 'The Facebook' - an watched as it spread like wildfire across campuses around the country and beyond. Suddenly everyone - from hot girls to venture capitalists - wanted to know Eduardo and Mark.

Yet amidst the popularity, cash, glamour and power, what began as a simple argument spiralled into an out-and-out war. The great irony is that Facebook succeeded by bringing people together - but its very success tore two best friends apart.
