Koum, 38, and his co-founder, Brian Acton of Whatapps, prefer to operate lean and below the radar, with just 55 employees and a nondescript office. They despise advertising and value the privacy of their 450 million users so much that they do not even collect their names.
Zuckerberg, by contrast, has built his immensely profitable empire by collecting reams of personal data on his 1.2 billion customers and using that to sell ads aimed at them.
Koum and Zuckerberg do share a common ambition -- to connect everyone in the world using their services.
