In early December 2015, Mark Zuckerberg announced that he would like to donate 99% of his Facebook shares to charity. And this on the occasion of the birth of his daughter. This would be approximately 45 billion dollars (42.5 billion euros)

And now he is supposed to give an additional 10% to 1000 Facebook users. This is what it says in an English-language status article that is now also reaching German-speaking countries.

Literally:
