Priscilla was born to Chinese parents in the United States on February 24, 1985, and Chan is her father's surname. Priscilla's parents are both Chinese and immigrated to the United States in the 1970s. Due to her lack of experience living in China, Priscilla is not good at Mandarin, but she can speak fluent Cantonese because her grandmother often spoke Cantonese to her.
During her childhood, Priscilla's grandmother was the person who had the greatest influence on her. This grandmother, who could not speak English but only spoke Cantonese, often taught Priscilla the principles of life, so from a young age Priscilla developed a very confident outlook on life.
Years later, it was this confidence that made Priscilla brave enough to become the wife of one of the most successful young men in the world . Priscilla and Zuckerberg met in 2003, when she was 18 and had just entered Harvard with excellent grades.
She met Zuckerberg after a school party. They were both going to the bathroom when Priscilla said hello to Zuckerberg, who was in line ahead of her. This greeting started a genuine relationship and a wonderful marriage.
The Disparaged Marriage of Facebook CEO Zuckerberg and Priscilla
Priscilla and Zuckerberg were friends for nearly two years (photo: printerest).
When he was in college, Zuckerberg was actually one of the least popular boys among girls. Because he liked to study IT technology and was not good at socializing, in American slang, such people were called Geeks.
Before meeting Priscilla, Zuckerberg had never been in a relationship and not many girls even talked to him. That day, Priscilla's initiative was like a pie falling from the sky for Zuckerberg, it made his heart beat faster.
However, after that meeting, they did not immediately develop a romantic relationship, but remained friends for nearly two years. In 2004, Zuckerberg teamed up with two classmates in his dorm room to create a social application, the original version of Facebook. Priscilla was already one of Zuckerberg's closest friends at the time, and she naturally became one of Facebook's first users.
It didn't take long for Facebook to become popular among college students, and Zuckerberg decided to drop out of school when his career was taking off. This decision was supported by his friend Priscilla. During that time, Zuckerberg was very proud of himself, and when he was in a good mood, he would like to joke, but the jokes he told were basically related to programming, and ordinary people couldn't understand those jokes.
Priscilla was an exception, although she was a biology major, she also taught herself programming, so whenever Zuckerberg joked, she always laughed with Zuckerberg, which made Zuckerberg feel like Priscilla was his soulmate.
Priscilla and Zuckerberg went from friends to lovers. They were both very intelligent, had common interests, and had very similar views on life. In 2005, Zuckerberg's Facebook became one of the most popular social software among young people, and he and Priscilla also established a romantic relationship.
In May 2012, Facebook Chairman Zuckerberg married a Chinese woman, Priscilla Chan. On the Forbes list that year, Zuckerberg ranked 35th with a fortune of 17.5 billion USD. In May 2012, shortly after Zuckerberg's 28th birthday, Facebook went public and Zuckerberg's net worth skyrocketed to 30 billion USD, making him one of the richest people in the world.

Their wedding was a very simple and private affair, with less than 10 people reportedly attending the 250 invitations sent out. Priscilla's wedding ring was not designed by any famous designer, but by Zuckerberg himself, the only one of its kind in the world. Anyone familiar with Zuckerberg knows that he doesn't like wearing suits, but he made an exception to give Priscilla an unforgettable wedding.
With such a talented young billionaire, which girl can be worthy of him? However, after seeing the photo of Priscilla, Zuckerberg's wife, many people were shocked. Some people thought that Zuckerberg had poor taste, some people laughed at him for "losing money", and some even said that he had "different taste".

For Priscilla, besides jealousy and envy, the thing that made her judged the most was her appearance. In these judgments, "not pretty" was considered friendly, many people even directly described her with vulgar words like "both dark and old".
The Reason Mark Zuckerberg Fell In Love With Priscilla
Facebook founders and their wives matched in “Night in Dreamland” themed outfits.
Now, more than 10 years later, Zuckerberg's assets have reached hundreds of billions of dollars. Priscilla's simple appearance always makes people feel approachable, while Zuckerberg's "robotic" appearance makes people feel more difficult to approach.
During more than 10 years of living together, it was Priscilla's existence that changed Zuckerberg's personality. Priscilla made up for her husband's lack of image in the public eye.
This could also be an important reason why Zuckerberg "fell" for Priscilla, because many times, it's not that Priscilla couldn't do anything without Zuckerberg, but that Zuckerberg couldn't do anything without Priscilla.
Priscilla doesn't have the glamorous appearance of others, but she can still hold the position of the mistress of a billionaire family, because she is good enough, capable enough, and because she chose the right person, a life partner who doesn't care about appearance but focuses on her dignity and personality.
