Sheryl Sandberg, who oversaw Facebook’s advertising dominance before resigning following years of crises and regulatory attacks over misinformation, is building out her foundation as she prepares to begin a new chapter as a billionaire philanthropist.

The Sheryl Sandberg & Dave Goldberg Family Foundation has recently looked to fill at least 13 positions, according to online job postings, including a chief of staff that would manage the personal giving priorities of Sandberg, who has a net worth of $2.2 billion. It already hired more than a dozen employees since early 2021 after its assets more than doubled in the previous year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and the most recently available tax forms.
