The founder and CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan were together long before Zuckerberg earned his first billion at the age of 23. The couple met in college during their sophomore year at a party hosted by Zuckerberg’s fraternity in 2003. They married in 2012 and are parents to two daughters. Zuckerberg is currently the sixth-richest person in the world, and the couple has a combined net worth of US$74.2 billion. In addition to Zuckerberg’s innovation in communication through social media, they both utilize their influence toward the research and improvement of global health, education, and community through the Chan Zuckerberg Foundation. They are both generous philanthropists and plan to give away a significant portion of their fortune as members of the Giving Pledge.
