Mark Zuckerberg has celebrated his 40th birthday with recreations of places he lived when he was younger.
The Facebook founder shared rare photos of his family and friends at the party on Instagram, in which he said his wife Priscilla Chan “recreated a lot of places I lived in the early days.”
One of the images showed him sitting next to Bill Gates in a miniature version of the Harvard dormitory where billionaire Meta created Facebook.
Gates, smiling at the camera, is sitting on a small red couch while Zuckerberg is sitting on a small wooden chair.
Another image showed the father of three with his daughters Máxima, 8, and August, 6, as he shows them the recreation of his childhood bedroom, where he learned to code.

“Grateful that people traveled from all over the world to celebrate with me,” Zuckerberg captioned a photo, which showed him sharing a drink with friends at the party.
Chan also had a cubicle at her party that represented her husband’s first apartment, where she said she lived with just a mattress on the floor until Facebook reached 100 million people.
In another image, Zuckerberg can be seen at a booth that resembles his office during the shutdown, “where we work day and night to fight off the competition,” Zuckerberg wrote in the caption.
The food at Zuckerberg’s party was also accompanied by a wave of nostalgia, as his wife recreated Pinocchio’s pizzeria, where the tech mogul said he “basically lived in college.”

He captioned the carousel of his birthday photos with: ‘Grateful for my first 40 years!’
Many of his friends also made a video to congratulate Zuckerberg, including his good friend Sheryl Sandberg, who used to be Meta’s COO.
His wife also appeared in the video and took to Instagram to mark Zuckerberg’s 40th birthday, writing: “Mark doesn’t usually let me do something big for his birthday, but for his 40th birthday I was allowed to throw a party as long as our friends and relatives did it too. She roasted him.
‘We all had a great time! Let’s say that no one suffered from lack of material!
‘Jokes aside, as I reflect on Mark’s 21 birthdays we’ve spent together, one of my favorite things about Mark is how he truly believes in people.

Zuckerberg posted a video that included photos of him as a child, like the ones shown above.
One of Zuckerberg’s photos when he was younger shows him holding a baseball bat and wearing a red T-shirt and matching red cap.
Another image shows Zuckerberg at his Harvard graduation while holding his diploma.
Another throwback in the video shows Zuckerberg, Chan and one of their daughters on her first birthday.

The video included an old clip of Chan, in which he said: “Big red flag.” Isn’t this guy doing his homework? He’s not going to amount to anything.
One famous friend who congratulates Zuckerberg in the video is Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who smiled and said: ’40 years…’
Sheryl Sandberg (pictured) said: “I can’t believe you’re only 40. Most successful 40-year-old of all time and best friend of all time.”
‘He sees the potential in all of us. I have no idea what adventures will come next, but I’m here for all of them. For many more.’
The video included several photographs from Zuckerberg’s childhood, as well as images of him drinking from a red mug, at his college graduation, at one of his daughter’s birthdays, and shirtless with MMA fighters.

Another friend said: ‘Turning 40 is an amazing thing, except for all the physical things that happen to you. In my case, eyesight, a shoulder injury, an elbow injury… I’m sure you’ll do better.’
“You don’t look over 25 and I bet you don’t feel like it either,” said another.
