Who were the people behind Facebook when it was just a startup? And where are they now?
Only two of Facebook's first 20 employees still work at the company — and you can probably guess one of them.
Most left during the social network's early days to work at other tech companies or start their own. Several have become successful investors at large VC firms. Out of Facebook's first 20 employees, only two were women. Many are now absurdly rich, following Facebook's IPO in 2012.
Here's where Facebook's first 20 employees are now:

Dustin Moskovitz, Facebook's first CTO, was Mark Zuckerberg's roommate. The two dropped out of Harvard together to move to California and work on Facebook.
Employed by Facebook: February 2004 - November 2009
Position:Cofounder
Where he is now: He's the cofounder and CEO at enterprise software company Asana. He also cofounded Good Ventures, a philanthropic firm with the mission "to help humanity thrive." He has a net worth of nearly $12 billion, according to Forbes.
Chris Hughes cofounded Facebook and served as the site's first spokesman. He later coordinated all social networking aspects of Obama's 2008 campaign.
Employed by Facebook: February 2004
Position at Facebook:Cofounder
Where he is now: After working on Obama's 2008 campaign, Hughes became executive director of Jumo, a startup that tried to utilize social media to change the world. In 2012, he purchased a majority stake in The New Republic and became its executive chairman and editor-in-chief. He put the magazine up for sale in 2016 after it failed to become profitable.
Hughes is now co-chair of the Economic Security Project, a group that wants to make universal basic income a reality in the U.S.
Eduardo Saverin was a Facebook co-founder and its first CFO. He famously sued Mark Zuckerberg and the two reached a settlement.
Employed by Facebook: February 2004
Position:Cofounder
Where he is now: After winning a legal battle with Facebook which let him retain his cofounder status, Saverin began angel investing in startups like Qwiki and Chris Hughes' Jumo. In 2011, Saverin (who was born in Brazil) renounced his U.S. citizenship and moved to Singapore, likely because of the taxes he'd have to pay following Facebook's public offering.
He says he has no hard feelings when it comes to Facebook or Mark Zuckerberg, who ousted him from the company shortly after its launch. Saverin has a net worth of roughly $8.7 billion, according to Forbes.
