Probably almost everyone knows who Mark Zuckerberg (multibillionaire and owner of the social network Facebook) is. But little is known about his wife Priscilla Chan, and not everyone knows the facts from her biography.
Priscilla grew up in, to put it mildly, a poor family: her relatives are ethnic Chinese who emigrated to America from the military Saigon along with Vietnamese refugees. Priscilla's grandparents were never able to learn English, and the girl was a guide for the whole family to the world around her.
The family was poor, lived in the suburbs of Boston, no one in it had an education, and from childhood Priscilla decided that she would be able to change everything by entering Harvard.

At school, Priscilla became interested in science, began to study robotics and entered the coveted Harvard Faculty of Biology.
It was an undoubted success, but the girl was too hard on herself: “I wanted to be smart, but I was not smart. And I knew I didn't fit in. I felt like the hell I didn't belong here. And I actually filled out the leave documents. I was ready to leave. “
At one of the student parties, Priscilla met a student who was expelled from the university, and he came to say goodbye to his fellow students. It was Mark Zuckerberg, a young man who was then unknown to anyone.
Since that day, Mark and Priscilla have not been separated, and until the wedding in 2012 they met for ten years.
The funny thing is, none of the fifty friends invited to the celebration had any idea that they were invited to the wedding: the card said only about Priscilla's getting a doctorate, which the couple was supposedly going to celebrate.
Three years after the wedding, the eldest daughter Max appeared in the family, and two years later, the youngest, August.
While Mark Zuckerberg soared up the list of the richest people in the world, Priscilla Chan was pursuing a career as a biologist and pediatrician. The billionaire's wife does not want to live in luxury at all, her goal is to help those who find it difficult.

Every year, the Zuckerberg family donates huge money to charity – to help orphans and poor families.
The charitable foundation founded by Priscilla is engaged in the development of medicine and education, as well as the improvement of the criminal law system.

Priscilla knows how to be a grateful person: “I am inspired by the work and efforts of those people who accepted my family in this country. I owe them forever! “
The Zuckerbergs do not boast of luxury real estate, do not wear expensive branded clothes, do not pursue fashion, and live quite modestly. According to them, money for them is only a means of achieving the goals of helping the world.
