This Is Mark Zuckerberg's Most Important Meeting Right Now

Finally, a CEO shows the world what really matters.

Here's something you've probs never seen before: the chief executive of one of the world's biggest companies lying on a rug, smiling beatifically at a tiny infant.

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted a photo of himself and his newborn baby girl Max on Tuesday.

They look cute.

And it's great that he's sending a message to working fathers everywhere: It's OK to take time out to bond with your kids.

We expect that we'll get to watch Max grow up for a while. Perhaps one day she'll even post her reaction when she learns that right after she was born, her parents agreed to give away the bulk of her inheritance.

Last week, Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, his wife, announced that they would give away 99 percent of their Facebook shares (worth about $45 billion) to start an organization aimed at making the world better. They said they were doing it to make Max's life better.

And, of course, Max won't ever worry about being poor without those billions. There will be plenty of money left over for her to go to good schools and universities, to be sure. She probably is a shoo-in for a Facebook internship. (Can babies code?)

So far her life is looking pretty chill. Zuckerberg is on a two-month leave from work to spend time with her.

Still, the main takeaway here is even more clear. Finally, Zuck will use Facebook the way a huge majority of his users use Facebook: To post adorable baby pictures. They've already done a fine job posting adorable pregnancy photos. Good job, everyone!
