FACEBOOKMark Zuckerberg, the co-founder and CEO of giant social networking site Facebook is set to sell 41.4 million shares which will rake in  $2.3 billion.

This move should not worry you. The CEO is not exiting his firm. Zuckerberg owns 29.8% of Facebook’s Class A shares and just 20% of  Facebook INC, so his total stake is some $13.6 billion.

Selling just 41.4 million shares is not a big deal. Facebook has 70 million Class A shares on offer. Mark still owns 444 million Class B common stock shares. An earlier SEC filling is here for your perusal as we get more details into this.
