The Love Story of Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan

The social networking king Mark Zuckerberg etched a name for himself with Facebook, right on the day when he launched it from his dormitory. Today, he is the second youngest self-made billionaire, and one of the sharpest minds in the industry. Yet, the man behind all this fame and glamour is not very different when it comes to love. Just like any other person, he too has a romantic tale of love to tell.

So, here is the beautiful love story of Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan.

A Meeting of Two Hearts

This was not a typical Mark Zuckerberg meeting, which would affect millions on the Internet. Rather, it was the one which would affect just two people on this planet. Mark Zuckerberg met Priscilla Chan, a sophomore from Boston, at a party hosted by Mark’s fraternity in 2003. Interestingly, they met at quite a strange place- in the waiting line for the washroom. Soon, these two students at Harvard, started dating each other. After some time, Mark took another major decision of his life; he dropped out to run his company then titled- The Facebook.

True Love Defies Distance

Despite the distance and Mark’s inherent workaholic attitude, Priscilla always stood by him. They fell in love when Zuckerberg was nothing but a college student, and they are still in love when he has become a multi-billionaire. Their love for each other and bond of commitment was much stronger than any fame or fortune. Priscilla who specialises in paediatrics, was the one who inspired Zuckerberg to promote organ donation on Facebook. And yes, she is also one of the first people to join Facebook (5 February, 2005). Their love was so strong that when Mark Zuckerberg moved to California, Priscilla Chan too shifted there and became a medical student at the University of California.

Their Secret Mantra for a Stronger Relationship

When it comes to their relationship, Priscilla like any other girl does not let the power go to her man’s head. In their courtship days, it was reported that she had laid out strict rules for Mark.
