Priscilla Chan – Mark Zuckerberg’s Wife
His Net Worth: $129 Billion

In 2003, while standing in line for the bathroom at his “going-away” party, Priscilla Chan met “nerdy” sophomore, Mark Zuckerberg. He’d created a fake website that he hoped would get him kicked out of Harvard.Despite the less-than-romantic start, the couple fell in love and began dating. The university did not expel him. But, he did drop out to work full-time at Facebook. No regrets, of course, as his current net worth is a staggering $129 billion.

After graduating from medical school, Chan married Zuckerberg in a surprise wedding in 2012. In 2015, the two co-founded the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. They committed to donating 99 percent of their money from Facebook shares to improving education, the judicial system, and health care. They then founded CZ Biohub, a non-profit disease research facility. Chan later left her position as a pediatrician to focus on their investments and family.
