PERSONAL LIFE:
Karim was born in Merseburg, East Germany in 1979 to a Bangladeshi father and a German mother.He crossed the inner German border with his family in the early 1980s, growing up in Neuss, West Germany.[note 1] Karim moved with his family to Saint Paul, Minnesota in 1992. He graduated from Saint Paul Central High School[5]and later attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Department of Computer Science. He left campus prior to graduating to become an early employee at PayPal, but continued his coursework,[4] earning his bachelor's degree in computer science. He subsequently earned a master's degree in computer science from Stanford University
FIRST VIDEO ON YOU TUBE:
Me at the zoo is the first video that was uploaded to YouTube. It was uploaded on April 23, 2005 at 20:27:12 by the site's cofounder Jawed Karim, with the username "jawed" and recorded by his high school friend Yakov Lapitsky.                                     
He created a YouTube account on the same day.The nineteen-second video was shot by Yakov Lapitsky at the San Diego Zoo, featuring Karim in front of the elephants in their old exhibit in Elephant Mesa, professing his interest in their "really, really, really long trunks".
CAREER:
While working at PayPal, he met Chad Hurley and Steve Chen. The three years later founded the YouTube video sharing website in 2005.After co-founding the company and developing the YouTube concept and website with Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, Karim enrolled as a graduate student in computer science at Stanford University while acting as an adviser to YouTube.

 When the site was introduced in February 2005, Karim agreed not to be an employee and simply be an informal adviser, and that he was focusing on his studies.[4] As a result, he took a much lower share in the company compared to Hurley and Chen.[13] Because of his smaller role in the company, Karim was mostly unknown to the public as the third founder until YouTube was acquired by Google in 2006. Despite his lower share in the company, the purchase was still large enough that he received 137,443 shares of stock, worth about $64 million based on Google's closing stock price at the time.[14]
