Mark Zuckerberg tops Vanity Fair’s 2015 New Establishment Disrupters list

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 9, ARMENPRESS. Facebook chairman and C.E.O. Mark Zuckerberg has struck deals with The New York Timesand BuzzFeed to publish articles directly into users’ pages. He’s reportedly negotiating with record labels and content providers to secure rights to music videos and scripted shows. And, if he has his way, virtual reality may someday soon connect every person in the world. These are just a few of the reasons why Zuckerberg topsVanity Fair’s 2015 New Establishment Disrupters list, a milestone the magazine celebrates by featuring the mogul on the October cover, in a photo byAnnie Leibovitz. “Armenpress” reports the aforementioned, referring to Vanity Fair News.

“At 31, Mark Zuckerberg stands out as something of an elder statesman,”Vanity FaireditorGraydon Carterwrites in his October editor’s letter. “He is far and away the youngest person ever to grab the top spot on the New Establishment list. He has not only proved himself as a brilliant entrepreneur; he may well become one of the great long-haul corporate leaders of the past half-century. . . . The $240 billion company he scratched out of his dorm room at Harvard is apparently just his first step toward world domination in the realm of social networking.”
