There is a pool, a tennis court, and a spacious yard on the property. Saverin is also said to own a magnificent penthouse suite in Singapore’s tallest residential tower.

Businesses

Saverin co-founded Aporta, an online charity platform, in 2010. Saverin founded B Capital, a venture capital business that invests in Southeast Asia and India, in 2015. In 2016, Saverin’s fund closed approximately $140 million in initial acquisitions in Asia, including Ninja Van, a Singaporean logistics company that specializes in last-mile parcel delivery in Southeast Asia.

Settlement

Business Insider was able to secure and publish an exclusive email from Zuckerberg on May 15, 2012, in which he explained how he fired Saverin from Facebook and reduced his ownership interest. Zuckerberg was forewarned by his lawyer that a lawsuit for violation of fiduciary responsibility could result from the dilution. Saverin was sued by Facebook, who claimed that the stock-purchase agreement he signed in October 2005 was unlawful.

Then Saverin sued Zuckerberg, claiming that over the summer, Zuckerberg used money from Facebook (Saverin’s money) for personal needs. Both lawsuits were resolved out of court in 2009. The settlement’s financial details were kept confidential, and the business confirmed Saverin’s status as a co-founder of Facebook. After the settlement, Saverin agreed to a non-disclosure agreement.
