MENLO PARK -- There was no glitzy birthday party for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg when he turned 31 years old Thursday, but he did get plenty of questions at a town hall and a $1.2 billion gift from Wall Street.
The young billionaire describes himself as a "low-key" birthday person, so he tries to avoid attention on the big day.
"My view is, I get too much attention the rest of the time," he quipped during Thursday's town hall.
Last year, he tried to avoid the attention by flying across the country for business meetings but was surprised by a conference room filled with balloons. He insisted the balloons stay as he continued the meetings.
