SFGate:

Zuckerberg doesn't typically work in a cordoned-off office like a traditional corporate executive. Instead, his regular desk is on the floor of Facebook's open-plan office, just like everyone — but executive-protection officers sit near his desk while he works, in case of security threats. Facebook's offices are built above an employee parking lot, but it's impossible to park directly beneath Zuckerberg's desk because of concerns about the risk of car bombs.

He also has access to a large glass-walled conference room in the middle of the space near his desk that features bullet-resistant windows and a panic button. There's also a persistent rumor among Facebook employees that he has a secret "panic chute" his team can evacuate him down to get him out of the office in a hurry. The truth of this matter remains murky: One source said they had been briefed about the existence of a top-secret exit route through the floor of the conference room into the parking garage, but others said they had no knowledge of it. Facebook declined to comment on this.

Does the escape route include a bridge over a piranha-filled pond?

    Because this meat bag is so important and what he does adds so much value to the world that He needs such protections.

    If he was doing the world good, like Mother Theresa or Mahatma Gandhi, he would need security at the front door to stop people wanting to hug him or give whatever they had to help him do his work.

    It turns out Mother Theresa was pretty much a super-villain herself, although your point is still valid.

    I would imagine that young Mark got the idea from the learning bed he was educated in.
