Mark Zuckerberg lost about $7 Billion Yesterday

Yesterday was a bad day for Mark Zuckerberg

Yesterday at about 10:30 AM, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger ALL went down and didn’t return until the evening!

By 3 o’clock, they’d lost nearly $60 million in revenue: about $13 million per hour, or $220,000 a minute.  And Zuckerberg saw his personal net worth decrease by about $7 BILLION.

It’s still not clear what caused the outage, but it appears to have been a problem with the Domain Name System, which translates website names into IP addresses that can be read by a computer.
