The Facebook page shared the photo from another Facebook group called \u201cS5G \u2013 STOP 5G Global\u201d<\/a> which includes 9.5 thousand members.<\/p>\n

The information that Mark Zuckerberg is actually Jacob Greenberg and is a grandson of David Rockefeller is a conspiracy theory.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Is Mark Zuckerberg David Rockefeller\u2019s grandson?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There is no evidence pointing at Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s kinship to David Rockefeller.<\/p>\n

The conspiracy theory about the connection of Mark Zuckerberg to the Rockefeller family has been disseminated since 2012. According<\/a> to a fact-checking website Snopes, this theory appeared in May 2012, when a photo<\/a> of Jacob Greenberg, who was arrested for the possession of marijuana in Arizona, was published. Some pointed out that the man on the photo looks like Mark Zuckerberg.<\/p>\n

However, the physical resemblance of Jacob Greenberg and Mark Zuckerberg is not obvious at all.<\/p>\n

The physical \u201cresemblance\u201d between Jacob Greenberg and Mark Zuckerberg reminded some about the grandfather of the latter \u2013 Jacob Greenberg, whose name then got associated with Maurice Greenberg, former director of several influential financial corporations. The conspiracy theory then quickly connected the name of the influential Maurice Greenberg to the Rockefeller family.<\/p>\n

According to some sources, Jacob Greenberg, Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s grandfather from mother\u2019s side, is Maurice Greenberg, who is connected to the Rockefeller family, is the former director of several financial corporations, and is also married to one of David Rockefeller\u2019s daughters. According to CNN<\/a>, Greenberg is actually married to Corinne Phyllis Zuckerman who does not have anything in common with the Rockefeller family. They have four children \u2013 Jeffrey, Evan, Scott, and Cathleen. None of them are called Jacob.
\nMark Zuckerberg was born in New York on May 14, 1984, in a middle-class family. His parents \u2013 Karen and Ed, according to Snopes, do not have anything in common with the Rockefeller family.<\/p>\n

Apart from the published photo, there is no information on Jacob Greenberg, whose resemblance to Zuckerberg became the cornerstone of the conspiracy theory. However, fact-checkers are convinced that he does not have anything in common with the Rockefeller, Greenberg, and Zuckerberg families.<\/p>\n

Conspiracy theories about the \u201csecret\u201d connections to the rich and influential families are not rare. Therefore, members of such families often appear in various conspiracy theories. Families such as Rothschild and Rockefeller feature in these theories especially often, they are even considered to be the rulers of the new world order at times.<\/a> The Rockefeller family is more popular from the two, though. David Rockefeller<\/a>, a former banker, died aged 101 on March 20, 2017.<\/p>\n
