I'm hearing this a lot lately. But Zuckerberg already has more power, status and money than he would ever get as president. Not to mention the disruption to his business and charity work right in the prime of his life. It just doesn't make sense to me. What's his supposed motivation?

I think the charity is just a tax shelter though..that's what I read , but could be wrong

Being the US president is something that only 30 or so people in the past 240 years have done , so that does say a lot. Being president of the US would boost visibility of Facebook, possibly change legislation in his favor, etc.
