In The Social Network classroom scene, Mark Zuckerberg sits in a Harvard lecture, seemingly disinterested. When the professor poses a complex technical question, Mark answers it instantly and accurately, showcasing his sharp intellect. The class is surprised, and the professor acknowledges his brilliance. This moment highlights Mark’s deep understanding of computer science while also emphasizing his social detachment. He’s focused more on his personal coding projects, like the early development of Facebook, rather than the academic discussion. The scene subtly portrays the contrast between his genius and social awkwardness. It reinforces a key theme of the film — Mark’s ability to outthink his peers intellectually, while struggling to connect with them emotionally or socially.

Mark Zuckerberg, while a student at Harvard in 2003, was approached by Divye Narendraand the Wipkleyess twins to help develop HarvardConnection (later called ConnectU), a social networking site for Harvard students.
Zuckerberg agreed but allegedly delayed work while secretly developing his own platform, TheFacebook.

In February 2004, Zuckerberg launched TheFacebook, which quickly gained traction. When the Winklevoss twins and Narendra discovered this, they accused him of stealing their idea and sued him in 2004. After years of legal battles, Facebook settled in 2008, paying $65 million in cash and stock.

Zuckerberg denied wrongdoing, insisting Facebook was independently created. Despite the controversy, Facebook expanded into a global giant. The dispute became widely known after The Social Network (2010) dramatized the story, though its accuracy is debated. Today, Zuckerberg remains Facebook’s face, while the Winklevoss twins turned to cryptocurrency, becoming billionaires in their own right.

A controversial take on Steve Jobs comes from comedian
Bill Burr, who in a 2015 stand-up bit on Conan, he called Jobs overrated, saying, “I didn’t get the big deal... new phone can’t use the old charger. This is your hero?” Burr argued Jobs wasn’t a true innovator, claiming he just marketed others’ ideas, like the iPod, and mocked the hype around him.

This contrasts with Jobs’ image as a visionary who grew Apple into a $2 trillion company by 2025. Critics of Burr’s take, like some Reddit users, counter that Jobs’ genius lay in branding and execution, not invention, citing his impact on tech’s cultural shift.

Burr’s view highlights a broader debate: was Jobs a creative genius or a ruthless opportunist who thrived on others’ work?

The $65M Credit Card Swipe.

In one of the wildest real estate stories ever, businessman Shawn Sheikhan reportedly bought the $65 million Royal Trust Tower in Toronto using his credit card. Sounds fake?

Here’s how it actually happened.

Sheikhan used his American Express Centurion (Black)
Card to fund the down payment, leveraging his relationship with Amex and an attached line of credit. The rest came from traditional financing. But because the transaction ran through Amex, he earned millions of reward points-enough to travel first-class for years.

No, he didn’t swipe his card at a payment terminal-but the idea of putting a skyscraper on a credit card isn’t far from the truth. This move became legendary in finance circles, showing how the ultra-wealthy use credit creatively, not just for spending-but for deal-making.

When you understand the rules of money, you don’t play the game-you bend it.

Elon Musk married Talulah Riley twice-2010 to 2012, then 2013 to 2016-after meeting in 2008. The British actress, born in 1985, starred in Pride & Prejudice. Despite a 15-year age gap and no kids together, they remain close post-divorce.

Riley calls Musk the “perfect ex-husband” in a 2024 interview, revealing she urged his 2022 Twitter buyout to
“fight woke-ism.” Musk attended her 2024 wedding, showing their bond. She describes him as emotional, countering his cold image.

Musk said he prefers “interesting conversations” about ideas, like space travel or Al, over mundane topics like the weather. This aligns with his intense focus-building SpaceX and Tesla, often working 100-hour weeks, leaves little room for trivial chat.

In 1999, Jeff Bezos appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where he was lightheartedly mocked for Amazon’s lack of profitability.

At the time, Amazon was a fledgling e-commerce company investing heavily in growth, which left it unprofitable-a fact many critics doubted would change.

Despite the jokes, Bezos stuck to his vision of prioritizing
long-term success over short-term gains. Fast forward to today, Amazon is a trillion-dollar company that reshaped global commerce, proving that Bezos’ strategy was anything but laughable.

Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, buys uncut sheets of $2 bills from the U.S. Treasury, cuts them into individual bills, glues them into notepads, and actually spends them.

People are often stunned when he peels off a bill like a sticky note and uses it in real transactions.

Wozniak even sells these $2 bill notepads-four bills for $5.

“When Mark Zuckerberg was sued in 2004, Harvard students Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, along with Divya Narendra, accused him of stealing their social networking idea, ConnectU, to create Facebook.

They claimed Zuckerberg, whom they had hired to develop their platform, delayed work while secretly building his own.

The lawsuit led to a 2008 settlement, awarding them $65 al million in cash and Facebook stock. Despite later attempts to challenge the deal, the case remained closed. 

The Winklevoss twins later invested in Bitcoin, becoming billionaires, while Facebook grew into a global tech giant.”

In 2016, University of Washington undergraduates Navid Azodi and Thomas Pryor developed SignAloud, a pair of innovative gloves designed to translate American Sign Language (ASL) into spoken words or text in real time.
Equipped with sensors that detect hand movements and positions, the gloves transmit data via Bluetooth to a computer, which processes the gestures and outputs corresponding speech or text. This invention earned them the $10,000 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize in the “Use It” category, recognizing technology-based consumer device improvements. Motivated by Azodi’s personal experience with non-verbal communication during childhood, the duo aimed to bridge communication gaps between ASL users and non-signers. While the gloves offer potential applications in healthcare, education, and virtual reality, they have faced criticism for not capturing the full complexity of ASL, which includes facial expressions and body language.

Acknowledging these limitations, Azodi and Pryor have engaged with the Deaf community to refine their prototype, emphasizing that SignAloud is intended as an optional tool to enhance communication, not to replace the richness of sign language or its cultural significance.

A widely shared Video features a reporter humorously explaining how billionaires, including Elon Musk, avoid paying taxes. In the clip, the reporter uses the “buy, borrow, die” strategy to illustrate how the ultra-wealthy minimize their tax burden. Instead of taking a salary, billionaires invest in assets like stocks, which appreciate over time. They then borrow against these assets to fund their lifestyles, avoiding income taxes since loans are not considered taxable income. This allows them to access large sums of money while paying little to no federal income tax. The explanation also highlights that when these billionaires die, their assets are passed on to heirs with minimal tax implications due to legal loopholes. The reporter, known for his engaging and humorous delivery, makes the complex tax avoidance strategy easy to understand, using Elon Musk as an example.

It was revealed that Musk, despite his massive wealth growth, legally paid little to no federal income tax in certain years.
The video has sparked widespread debate on wealth inequality and tax reform, with many arguing that the current system benefits the ultra-rich at the expense of ordinary taxpayers.

Dumb Money (2023), directed by Craig Gillespie, dramatizes the 2021 GameStop short squeeze, a chaotic clash between retail investors and Wall Street elites.

Based on financial analyst and YouTuber known as Roaring Kitty, who invests his savings in GameStop and rallies Reddit’s r/wallstreetbets to drive the stock price from $17 to $483 in weeks.
Small-time investors-like a nurse (America Ferrera) and a GameStop employee (Anthony Ramos)-join in, briefly becoming millionaires, while hedge fund billionaires like Gabe Plotkin (Seth Rogen) lose billions.

The film captures the frenzy as Robinhood halts trading, sparking a congressional inquiry, and paints a David vs.
Goliath tale of ordinary people challenging a rigged system.

Knife Aid, a mail in knife sharpening service, appeared on Shark Tank Season 11, Episode 4 in 2019. Founders Mikael Soderlindh and Marc Lickfett pitched their business, seeking $400,000 for 15% equity.

Customers mail dull knives in a prepaid envelope, and Knife Aid returns them sharpened within a week, starting at $49 for four knives. The pitch sparked a frenzy-four Sharks (Lori Greiner, Rohan Oza, Kevin O’Leary, and Barbara Corcoran) chased the duo into the hallway, a first for the show. Lori and Oza secured the deal at $500,000 for 20% equity.

By 2025, Knife Aid is still operating, with a workshop in Agoura Hills, California, and annual revenue around $2 million, though Soderlindh left in 2021. Reviews are mixed
—some praise the sharpness, others note uneven quality, like a Wired report calling it “iffy.”
