Is it just me or was everyone else’s first thought also “wonder if they got a pre-nup?”. I hate being cynical about marriage (I’m happily married with kids) but couldn’t help it in this case.
I imagine that Zuckerberg’s lawyers would have “forced” them to sign some kind of prenuptial agreement. A majority of Zuckerberg’s wealth is tied up in Facebook. A messy divorce could potentially give his wife some sort of influential stake in the company. I’m not sure how exactly it would work, but billionaire life probably has all sorts of rules and procedures that we don’t experience.
For the wife, this level of wealth would transcend personal materialism. You could probably buy whatever you want with say, $200 million. With billions of dollars, you might start thinking about your influence on the world. Imagine if you could just throw $1 billion into cancer research, space exploration, or some other thing that is important to you.
If he doesn’t have a prenup, he should be forced to resign because he is a moron. I would be shocked if he doesn’t have one though.
From an article on Yahoo! regarding prenups in CA.
“A prenuptial agreement in California typically states how spouses would divide assets in the event of a divorce. The couple usually waives the right to make claims based on community-property laws, which state that any property created after the marriage is essentially community property and should be split evenly after any divorce.
California is one of a handful of states with community-property laws. Most states rely on equitable-division rules, which give more flexibility to a judge in dividing assets.”
Maybe ChickenTikka can give his $.02 on this as he seems he seems to be the resident expert on prenups. Let’s not forget his tall tale of his brother dropping a prenup on his bride to be five minutes before she was to walk down the aisle…

Actually, the first thing I wondered was why a young guy with tens of billions of dollars would choose her.

Yeah the stock is getting kicked in the balls. Anyone think it will go below $30 in the near future? I would not be surprised. I am not going to get involved either way except to watch and comment on this epic fleecing of investors. What a disaster…

This could actually be the cheapest way for him to screw lots of women in the future. Mrs. Zuckerberg (nee Chan) has been shacked up with her new hubby for a fair amount of time now. As a result, she would actually have some claim on the appreciation of his assets since the time they started living together (FB has increased in value considerably in the past couple of years). With the marriage, presumably accompanied by a prenup, the valuation clock starts at zero again.
honestly, i dont’ think money matters to this guy as much it you think…….i don’t get the sense that is a greedy pig…of course he prices his IPO at the highest range, but its absurd/irresponsible to do so otherwise……
Well… yeah… even if the prenup gives her 1% of Mark’s money, that is a shitton of money. I mean, I would marry Zuckerberg if I had the chance. Potential billions of dollars is worth the price of anal violation.
this marriage will not last long.. a midlife crisis is around the corner and he will realize he actually has to enjoy life than to be stuck with that thing.
I’m not sure if I would characterize Asian women as “gold diggers”, especially the Westernized ones. They are probably more likely, though, to pursue men with good educations and sophisticated jobs. Maybe that is the same thing.
As for the prenup, I don’t think it’s their choice. Due to Zuckerberg’s large stake in Facebook, his marriage or divorce could have material impacts on the company. Facebook’s other stakeholders would certainly want to protect themselves from the fallout of a future divorce. Hence, they would have pressured Zuckerberg to sign something.
From what I’ve seen, Asian women (asian-asian ,not westernized asian) do tend to be more “gold-diggers”, and will put more weight into the “good job, has a house, has $” category, instead of the “because i love this person” category.
You can call it gold-digger, or attraction to success people, whatever. Especially true in the poorer asian countries where tons of asian girls are trying to get out of the rural lifestyle into the modern urban life. Also true in urban areas as well though, tons of girls are literally out to find “the guy”, marry him, and be a stay-at-home mom and not have to study or work at a job again for the rest of their lives while the guy brings home the $$. And this actually works just fine because of the massive men / women imbalance.
Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and greatest weakness.

She is harvard educated… MD and 27 years old!!! I’ll marry her!!!!! Given MDs on avg make 250K and depedning on where she wants to specialize…..damn sign me up. And I believe in nature in the nature vs. nurture so I think my kids will be smart or at least slightly above avg since I consider myself an average.

As the resident expert on Asian chicks I have to disagree with some of this stuff. Here’s my over-analysis because I’m bored in the office…
First off she is a full-on American woman (second generation Chinese American). Second generation tend to be fully assimilated into the US culture, although she does speak Cantonese which might say something. The biggest risk is that he married an American woman; a recipe for divorce and lose all your money-ville.
If she were an Asian woman (which is really isn’t) then you’ve got a different situation. Asian chicks get categorized as seemingly materialistic, but really it is just that in order to qualify you need to be financially responsible. People in Asia are savers and Americans are debtors, hence where I believe the unfair label of Asian chicks being “gold-diggers”. Not really in my experience, they just expect that you have a financial plan (duh), you need to demonstrate that to get pre-qualified. Once you are pre-qualified however I would say they are much more trust worthy and willing stand by you thru good times and bad, in Asia family/friends > money. A good Asian woman will step in front of a bullet for you, no joke. The American woman will pounce on you in your moment of weakness and steal all your stuff! LOL
Feel free to hate but whatever, I dig Asian chicks for the above mentioned reasons.
The thing that makes you wonder if Marky is smarter than he looks is that he married his long time bud, who knew him from back when he was “just a regular dude”, that seems like the wisest move for someone in his position…offset by the risk intrinsic in her being a highly savvy American woman.
Yeah he could marry a perfect 10, but that would be retarded. He can have perfect 10s on business trips. Mary a good one you can trust.
That’s my analysis. Hopefully it works out but frankly it looks like a disaster waiting to happen!!!
yeah because you know being a harvard-educated doctor and all she’s heading to a life of poverty.
Cities teem with evil and decay, let’s give it a good shake and see what falls out!!
CA is a community property state. I find it “interesting” that he waited until the stock went public before they got married.

Everything is relative
Harvard or not.
If you’re Mark Zuckerberg, why bother getting married?
Well clearly Zuckerberg has better goals in life, instead of screwing a lot of women
Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and greatest weakness.
I wonder how many he screwed in his life. 3? i would go with the under.
Super focused people like Gates, Buffett and Zuckerberg have low sex drives, which permit them to put all their energies towards their true passions.
LMAO

community property rules… from L3
Also, he can use the completion portfolio to diversify over time, by adding securities to eventually get the market risk, and loss harvest.
Or use the public/private exchange funds.
Public: everyone brings in some low basis stock, lock in period, must have illiquid holdings, total taxes are only deferred, increased value with TVM
Private: usually has one other outside investor

She’s not very pretty, and actually fat by asian standards..
Oh, but Zuckerberg is very smart about 1 thing. No Diamond Ring (obviously cause he knows diamonds will be worth nothing over the next decade)

Maybe because he feels he could trust her. That’s pretty valuable for him, something he may never be able to find now with his new fortune.
“Some people make shoes. Some people make houses. We make money and people are willing pay us a lot to make money for them.”
first she is asian, so you know she is not a gold digger….she will problably be a great wife and we should be happy for the guy…
zuckerberg has been burned by a lot of HCBs so tryign to step up to them now will look pretty pathetic….
i think the diamonds will hold its value better than the FB stock at the IPO price….
i would have personally gave KimK a call if anything…….
Yeah the stock is getting kicked in the balls. Anyone think it will go below $30 in the near future? I would not be surprised. I am not going to get involved either way except to watch and comment on this epic fleecing of investors. What a disaster…

Asian and not a gold digger? hahaha yeah right, this may be racist but in my expereince asians are the most materialistic people around.
As for the prenup and why he decides to get married? I don’t know, maybe he actually loves her….
