Mark Zuckerberg has retained control of Meta Platforms through a dual-class stock structure that gives his shares greater voting power than those held by most other shareholders. Although Meta became publicly traded in 2012, Zuckerberg continued to exercise substantial authority over corporate decisions. In 2026, the company moved to create a new class of nonvoting stock that would allow it to raise capital without reducing his voting control.
