Mark Zuckerberg, the young man who founded Facebook is one of the richest human beings alive on earth. His empire has spanned across the globe making him surpass Bill Gates effortlessly. His net worth of $20 billion makes it easy to spend millions on cars but he doesn't. He is only driving a $30,000 2014 Volkswagen GTI which is known to for its premium cabin materials, roomy seats, and spacious boot.

Many may be surprised by his choice of a car. He could've splurged on the hottest rides such as Maybachs or Aston Martins, but he chose a rather low key sedan but definitely does not disappoint at all. Volkswagen has evolved from just producing the Beatle to sedans worth noticing and of course, worth having.

According to Business Insider, he could've also chosen a Tesla Model S, A Bugatti Veyron, or even the A-Listers favorite, the Ferrari. He can afford all these rides, even being able to buy one every six months if he wants to. But then, this man is smart beyond his years.

He is also seen constantly on TV appearances and in various events wearing his signature jeans and shirt ensemble which makes a statement that he is not so much into the glitz and glamor in anyway.

 

Why would he in the first place? He works amidst see of developers and programmers who are not so known for being the most fashionable in the bunch. They would rather spend their time and energy behind their computers, reinventing and innovating computer systems and applications for everyone to enjoy. That definitely makes a lot of sense.

A 2014 Volkswagen GTI is a solid choice for a work car for Mark Zuckerberg. According to US News and World Report, it has an impressive over-all rating of 8.4 out of a possible 10 points from 33 pieces of research and data elements to make the report more conclusive and accurate.

The 2014 Volkswagen GTI is known for its sporty handling, comfortable ride, and high-end, roomy cabin making it a top of its class. Whoever said enjoying high-end comfort and class always come with a hefty price tag is proven wrong by this car. This may be an unorthodox choice for Mark Zuckerberg who is worth billions, but when he starts explaining his reasons, luxury cars may all be out of business.
