Dustin A. Moskovitz
Characterized by Forbes as the world’s youngest billionaire, Dustin A. Moskovitz was Zuckerberg’s roommate and one of the original Facebook co-founders. After leaving the company in 2008, Moskovitz went on to co-found and become CEO of Asana, a company that produces software to make professional collaboration easier. Moskovitz lives in San Francisco, is engaged to former Wall Street Journal reporter Cari Tuna, and, according to Forbes, still bikes to work and flies commercial despite his $5.2 billion fortune. Earlier this year, Moskovitz bumped into the Winklevoss brothers at Nevada music festival Burning Man, a confrontation that ended in them becoming Facebook friends.
Andrew K. McCollum ’06
Andrew K. McCollum ’06 was Zuckerberg’s classmate and a designer at Facebook, creating Facebook’s first logo. He dropped out of Harvard to join Facebook, but after leaving the company in 2006, returned to complete his degree in computer science. After graduation, McCollum went on to co-found JobSpice, an internet company that helps people make resumes. Currently, he’s an entrepreneur-in-residence at New Enterprise Associates and a partner at Fresh Pond Partners in Boston. In 2012 McCollum married sociology Ph.D. Gretchen Sisson, in a ceremony that was described as the geekiest wedding ever.
Cameron S.H. Winklevoss ’04 and Tyler O.H. Winklevoss ’04
After a four year legal dispute with Zuckerberg over the founding of Facebook, Cameron S.H. Winklevoss ’04 and Tyler O.H. Winklevoss ’04 settled their suit with Zuckerberg in 2008 for $20 million in cash and $45 million in Facebook shares, which was significantly less than their original suit of $140 million. The Winklevoss twins felt deceived by the valuation of the stocks and tried to undo the settlement. The federal appeals court in San Francisco upheld the settlement and the brothers decided not to appeal to the Supreme Court.
The Winklevosses continued rowing after their time at Harvard, going on to place sixth at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in pairs rowing. After graduating from Oxford with MBAs, the twins became venture capitalists, investing notably in Bitcoins and the payment processor BitInstant. Their Facebook stock is now worth an estimated $120 million.
