Where to Go If You Owned Facebook

Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire of our time, and boy does he need yoga! If you believe the movie, he must be carrying a lot of emotional baggage in his hips, his heart and his back. Plus, screwing his friends and colleagues over can't be good for his karma.

The upside of Zuckerberg is that he has about $6.9 bil at his disposal. With all that money, he can stay at any or all of the most beautiful, most exotic yoga retreats in the world.
