The wedding of Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook and the owner of a billion-dollar fortune, and Priscilla Chan was organized on May 19, 2012. It was a surprise for hundreds of guests who thought they had come to a party in honor of the release of Priscilla from a medical college, where, by the way, the girl met her fate. For those who wonder how old Mark Zuckerberg's wife was at the time of the wedding, twenty-seven, she is one year younger than her husband.
Reason for dating
The story of how he met his wife Mark Zuckerberg, is similar to many others, but at the same time this is a rather interesting story. In 2003, Priscilla was invited to a party organized by a Jewish student brotherhood called Alpha Epsilon Pi. The first impression of Chan from the red-haired guy: "botanist, slightly not of this world." Mark had a beer mug with a humorous inscription about beer in the C ++ programming language. Priscilla was fond of programming, and he and Mark laughed together at the joke. He appreciated her intelligence, resourcefulness and sense of humor . This little episode was the beginning of their long romantic relationship.
Ready for anything for love
It's hard to believe, but for the sake of older relatives of the future wife of Priscilla, Mark Zuckerberg ... learned the Chinese language. For two years, the head of Facebook, under the leadership of Priscilla, has been working on Mandarin over the Chinese dialect. Here is one of the evidence of his success: at a meeting with students at the elite Tsinghua University, he was able to talk freely with the audience without an interpreter.
After the engagement, Mark respectfully announced Priscilla to her grandmother, and it is not possible to say if the bride's family was shocked by the news or the Chinese language in the mouth of the foreigner.
Young family
In early December 2015, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife finally had a daughter, who was given the name of Maxim. But before this happened, Priscilla survived three miscarriages, and these misfortunes only rallyed the couple together. Talking about this, Mark urged people not to close in their problems, but to discuss them in order to help others.
The young father published a touching letter to his daughter, and here is his ending: "Max, we love you and feel that we are entrusted with a great responsibility: we are obliged to make this world better for you and other children. We hope that your life will be filled with the same love, hope and joy that you give us. We are looking forward to what you bring to this world. "
Successful businessman Zuckerberg in general is very fond of children. And who knows, maybe Max will not be his only child, and one day we will see pictures of happy Mark Zuckerberg on the web with his wife and children.
