No, you're not the only one. If my man's bank account was in the neighborhood of $19B, I'd be happy with a Simple band
I would be. As long as he doesn't huff and puff when I blow money fast on Rodeo Drive, a plain ole wedding band can work for me!

She may have a Marvin claim (you may have an interest on what was earned during the time you were together but not married). Costs a lot though.
No. Division of property is very clear in a divorce. She is entitled to half the community (assets and debts) accumulated during marriage. Not prior. So that is his money. Not hers. Also, I bet the PA was to protect what other billions he is going to make, not what he has already earned. I bet you it says something like "separate earnings will remain as separate property".
Prenuptial agreements are often drafted to "avoid" confusing in identifying what belongs to whom during a divorce

I think the ring is cute. Perhaps that's what he wanted. I got an expensive rock but did not have a wedding. I guess is all about preferences
I do feel like he is a bit stingy too though hahaha
lmao. not true in the least. it's about having something they want. i have no connection and got into an Ivy League school for undergraduate studies.

IA.....the setting is hideous. and so is the cut. eww. I have no problem with colored gemstones but that ring is not cute. at all
it's the same for law school. bc sometimes my classmates say some things and i am like
but the girl is obvi not dumb. she cleaned up well for her wedding. she's a bit homely.
i wish them well. im not married to him so his cheapness/bank account matters little to me. wish i could convince him to stop changing fb's interface every year or two. it's annoying.
yea that ring was so NOT inspiring!!! it looked like it came from the bubble gum machine! just because it is not a huge diamond does not mean it can't be nice.
i would have been like "ok - you got your laugh in but where is the real ring?"
Priscilla is pregnant. He posted a family pic on Facebook. Said she suffered three miscarriages, but her and baby girl are doing well now. Congrats to them!
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan announce baby girl – and massive charity initiative
In a Facebook post to newborn child Max, the Facebook CEO says he will administer the initiative himself using 99% of shares in company’s stock
The Zuckerbergs gave birth on Tuesday: to a baby girl, and to one of the world’s biggest charities.
That sterling spoon you might have been considering for Mark Zuckerberg’s new baby may no longer be the most exciting gift to the Facebook billionaire’s daughter: after revealing his wife, Priscilla Chan, had given birth to their first child, Max, Zuckerberg announced the creation of a charity organization called the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
The couple have pledged to give away 99% of their Facebook shares in their lifetime, currently worth about $45bn.
The charity, which has “the mission of advancing human potential and promoting equality”, will be administered by the CEO himself and is already on track to be worth a potential $3bn by 2018.
Zuckerberg announced the move on Facebook in the form of a letter to his baby:
Zuckerberg plans to finance the endeavor using his stock options. Some 99% of his shares will go to the charity – the tech tycoon owns 4m shares of class A common stock and 419m shares of class B, which have the majority of voting rights.

“[D]uring his lifetime, he will gift or otherwise direct substantially all of his shares of Facebook stock, or the net after-tax proceeds from sales of such shares, to further the mission of advancing human potential and promoting equality by means of philanthropic, public advocacy, and other activities for the public good,” the company said in the filing.
Joel Fleishman, professor of law and public policy sciences at Duke University, said he believed the announcement would spur giving among the super-rich.
“I follow this pretty closely and hardly a day goes by that somebody doesn’t say he’s going to give away all his assets to charity,” Fleishman said, noting that Zuckerberg’s early-years Facebook colleague Dustin Moskovitz and his wife Cari Tuna said they were going to give away their fortune, which amounts to some $8bn, as well. “It does exemplify the spirit of the times.”
Fleishman observed that the project had become particularly popular among the young and extraordinarily wealthy, who prefer “giving while living” to willing their assets to charity. “I celebrate his decision to do it as I celebrate Warren Buffet’s decision to give all that money to the Gates Foundation. People who’ve made all that money are by nature competitive; someone that young giving away that much money will undoubtedly stimulate others to do likewise.”
But it’s not the executive’s first foray into charity, nor the first this week. Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Richard Branson and others announced an initiative to invest in new energy sources to stem the rising tide of climate change on Monday.
Results of his previous philanthropic efforts have been mixed: In 2010, Zuckerberg partnered with then-mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Cory Booker (who has since become the state’s junior senator) to improve the notoriously poor-quality schools in the city with a donation of $100m. The endeavor was widely criticized for the percentage of the gift that went to pay consultants, among other problems.
FWD.us, a political advocacy group started by Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, has also stalled after its efforts to lobby for immigration reform failed, despite some $50bn in backing from big-name tech personalities.

Distraught families say Zuckerberg pulled funds from low-income school
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan’s tuition-free low-income private school has had its funding pulled by the billionaire family foundation, parents say.

Yup. And it's so late that most charter schools or private schools have filled their slots. In a public school with no room has to take student, but they might send the student to a different school if they can.
And for the teachers it's pretty late in the year to find a job that you really want.

Zuckerberg and Priscilla could given the school an endowment and set it up as a non profit. I don't know exactly what they would have needed, but I'm sure they have enough money. I guess the school doesn't give off enough good publicity.
