Priscilla Chan

"He had to do certain things," Mark said.

At the company's flagship annual conference in two thousand twenty-four, Mark wore a shirt with the words, "Either a Caesar or nothing." Mark's wife, Priscilla Chan, joked that on their honeymoon in Rome, his constant pursuit of Augustan sights and statues made the emperor their third wheel.

The names of their three children are Maxima, August, and Aurelia.

And so Jeremy Stern is a fantastic writer because he's going back.

Jeremy Stern is spending all the time with Zuck, his wife, his kids, his in-laws.

And this is probably my favorite part of the entire piece, and a great ending to this incredible profile.

And it's this conversation that Jeremy is having with Zuck's wife, Priscilla Chan.

And she says, "Here, I want to show you something." And she hands Jeremy a laptop.

I think our most important responsibility is that there are countless people out there who are walking around with conditions that we can prevent, that the technology exists to make sure that they don't have a heart attack or a stroke, but today no one is caring for them.

And Echo was co-founded in 2018 by Spotify founder Daniel Ek with backing from big Silicon Valley names, including Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan.

The company's roots started in Stockholm, Sweden, but expanded to six locations in the United Kingdom with plans to add Miami, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco clinics.

And the company tells us there are thousands already on the wait list for this New York location that opens today.

And we know that this is true.

Yeah.

Listen, I'm not I'm not trying to joke about it because my wife is dealing with perimenopause right now.

And I joke that I say that I have very menopause, but it's my way to identify with what she's going on.

It is started four years ago owing to the generous donation of Mr.

Mark Zuckerberg and Dr. Priscilla Chan.

Each year we have up to six students in each cohort to receive a full ride scholarship in exchange for them to spend about 40% of their time on the island of Kauai during their four year of medical training.

In return, these students will return to Kauai after the completion of all of their medical training in any field of their choice to be able to practice on Kauai as future physicians.

So he and Erica, when I say he, Mark Zuckerberg as Jesse Eisenberg, and Erica Albright, played by Rooney Mara, who actually is not a real person.

She is a composite created for the film, and at the time, Zuck's girlfriend was Priscilla Chan, who is now his wife.

So obviously some dramatization here, but I always feel like this opening scene is captivating but hard to follow it's like boom boom it's very sorkin where obviously all the characters in this film talk fast and are very quippy but this is like this is one's on speed and i think it's on purpose to kind of like get you into that mode of the film but it's a very very 300 words a minute kind of kind of opening

And I think it's done that way because of what they're talking about in the conversation.

But, you know, looking back on that now, some of the details you changed are pretty big, that idea of this antisocial person creating this social network.

I mean, he was dating his now wife, Priscilla Chan, at the time, and so it, it wasn't exactly true, but it's become the sort of origin story that everyone understands about Facebook now.

Uh, yeah, w- whether Mark was dating Priscilla Chan at the time or not, I, I honestly don't know.

In all of the research, her name never, uh, uh, came up.

But listen to who was at the meeting, and I have the photo right in front of me.

Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Ed Boyden, Desiree Dudley, Michelle Yeh, Priscilla Chan, Navid Farouk, and Io Ito.

And he was involved in a horrible financial scandal.

And this was back in 2015.

At the company's flagship annual conference in 2024, he wore a shirt with the words, Out Zuck, Out Nihil, a riff on Cesare Borgia's famous motto, Out Caesar, Out Nihil, either a Caesar or nothing.

His wife, Priscilla Chan, joked that on their honeymoon in Rome, his constant pursuit of Augustine's sights and statues made the emperor their third wheel.

The names of their three children are Maxima, Aurelia, and August.

But to me, computer science was like, okay, he's just picking up a different language, says Karen, qualifying the seeming inevitability of his later life.

Thus, he must start Facebook in order to get in with or back at her and them.

In real life, there was no Erica Albright.

By the time Zuckerberg started Facebook in 2004, he was already dating Priscilla Chan, whom he married.

In reality, he wasn't rejected by the Wasps because he never tried to join one of their social clubs.

Right

... uh, Priscilla Chan, who is a very brilliant woman, and a scientist, and a physician, and they together set up a foundation that really actively tried to do good.

They tried to help, um, poor people with health and medicine.

Uh, they tried to support fair, and free, and transparent elections.
