Priscilla Chan became famous overnight, becoming famous on all continents of the globe. Her husband, Mark Zuckerberg, is the youngest American billionaire. In addition to the state, he has an attractive appearance, charisma, an extraordinary sense of humor and wit. It is not surprising that this guy was the most enviable groom on the planet, the same as the royal British princes Harry and William. But on May 19, 2012, Mark ceased to be so because of his sudden marriage to an unknown girl for his fans.
Brand Selection
Priscilla Chan, whose photo immediately flew over all continents, became the legal wife of a young talent from Silicon Valley. Looking at the girl, many came, to say the least, to bewilderment. Next to Mark, they represented, at a minimum, a well-known model or actress, at most - someone from among unmarried princesses. However, Priscilla, as it turned out, does not meet any of these criteria.
Priscilla Chan: biography
Priscilla, who at the time of the wedding was 27 years old, was born in the States, in the family of a Vietnamese refugee and a native of China. In addition to her, there were sisters in the family who also were born under the American sky.
The parents of the girl dreamed of a better life for their children, so they did everything to make them stand out in people. Husband and wife initially worked in a restaurant, after which they opened their own institution with Chinese cuisine. It was called "Taste of Asia", and was located in Boston. Despite the fact that they turned from wage laborers into restaurant owners, Priscilla's parents had to work 18 hours a day. The motivation of these people was strong: their children had to realize the American dream, and for this it was necessary to give them a decent education.
While father and mother provided for the future of the family, Priscilla Chan studied, like all children, in an ordinary Boston high school. The girl was distinguished by her abilities and tenacity, which were higher than those of her peers. For example, as her tennis and science teacher recalls as a thirteen-year-old teenager, she went up to him and asked what she needed to do to go to Harvard. Peter Swanson was “stunned”, because before that he hadn’t met so that a child at that age knew exactly what he wanted.
Priscilla's American Dream
Priscilla Chan brilliantly graduated from high school, receiving a document with honors. She showed incredible perseverance to achieve this, as she saw an example of her selfless parents. Apparently, her tennis lessons, which she began to attend after a conversation with the teacher, also hardened her. After all, as you know, Harvard "loves" student athletes. It should be noted that the future Mrs. Zuckerberg did not have sports potential, but her incredible zeal and perseverance led to her joining the Harvard Tennis Club, as later on at Harvard itself. A girl from a poor refugee family became a student at the most elite educational institution.
Meet Chan and Zuckerberg
Many were interested in how and under what circumstances Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg could meet. Like other couples, this acquaintance happened at the university, during a student party at the Jewish community. Both languished in line to the public toilet, Mark stood with a glass of beer and joked. After this meeting, young people began a relationship.
Priscilla studied, Zuckerberg was just creating a virtual network for Harvard students. Then he went to Silicon Valley, leaving the university, and Miss Chan graduated perfectly, becoming a certified teacher. She still received one education - medical, in the field of pediatrics. Well, and Mr. Zuckerberg at that time was actively engaged in the promotion of Facebook. It should be noted that at the initial stage of the project, back at Harvard, Mark was supported only by Priscilla.
What this guy’s American dream has turned into is known to all. The youngest billionaire in the world, houses, magazines, publications, press conferences and the most popular social network around the globe. Only now the free heart of a genius haunted the hunters for the rich and successful.
