Eduardo wasn't really short changed. What he got from the settlement, or even ownership of .03% of the company is millions of dollars. He enjoyed the glamor of being a bigshot, the women, parties, etc. He did pretty damn well even for Ivy League standards.

He invested money up front and was part of the company from the beginning, but outside of that, he didn't contribute much. His networking efforts were of limited results, and in the long run, it just doesn't make sense to pay someone 30% for the rest of the company's history when they only did meaningful work during the initial stages. I don't think he did 30% of the work, nor did he contribute billions of dollars of work.

It's like the Beatles. Pete Best was the original drummer, and then they sacked him for Ringo Starr because Ringo was better. Best made a good career for himself and he never went hungry but to say he deserved to be in the Beatles and make 25% of their profits is just silly.

Erica was a different matter and I still find it funny she had an account. Every college student in the world seemed to be on it so she had to have an account too. She probably resented doing that because it was Mark's big invention. She also probably resented the fact that she could have been the girl with the rich boyfriend but he had insulted her too publicly.

I don't mind you disagreeing with me, but I don't appreciate you calling my honest opinion "silly". Look what Eduardo goes through in the film.

And yes, I find his behaviour towards Erica particularly disgusting. I've known guys like him who've had that sense of entitlement towards girls.

Sorry. To harsh.

You have no sympathy whatsoever. Zuckerburg screwed Zuckerburg. He made a very selfish decision. Mark's going to have to live with that decision for the rest of his life.

Lol, I said I have no sympathy- why are you just repeating what I said? Haha, unless you meant you have no sympathy?

I was channeling 1997 Vince McMahon. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Oooh, don't know him

If Zuckerberg is portrayed in this movie as him in real life, well what a despicable creature. He screwed his girlfriend for dumping him,what girl wouldn't. An evil man. I couldn't even get through an hour of the movie before tuning out. What a horrible man, plus he really does look like an alien in real life.

Screwed his girlfriend for dumping him? He's the one worth $100 billion now whatever way you look at it he would've screwed over the girlfriend that dumped him regardless from the comfort of his bank account.

Well yeah, but we're discussing his character, not his means :S

I think you're all a bit biased because of Facebook and his free speech totalitarian ways if we're being totally honest here. Who cares how he treated his girlfriend that (dumped) him. I'd have more respect for you and those on this thread if you'd just call Mark a libtard and call it a day.

I'd never use the word "t*rd" in any form, because it's extremely offensive! I'm also very liberal. I don't like him because he treated everyone awfully. I'm afraid you need to stop assuming, and observe what everyone has said.
