Social networking king Mark Zuckerberg , right on the day when he launched it from his dormitory. He is the second youngest self-made billionaire, and one of the sharpest minds in the industry. The man behind all this fame and glamour is not very different when it comes to love. Just like any other person, he too has a romantic tale of love to tell. Love story of Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan.
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan Two Hearts meeting
This was not a typical Mark Zuckerberg meeting, which would affect millions on the Internet. Rather, it was the one which would affect just two people on this planet. Mark Zuckerberg met Priscilla Chan, a sophomore from Boston, at a party hosted by Mark’s fraternity in 2003. Interestingly, they met at quite a strange place- in the waiting line for the washroom.

When it comes to their relationship, Priscilla like any other girl does not let the power go to her man’s head. In their courtship days, it was reported that she had laid out strict rules for Mark. A minimum of 100 minutes of alone time (definitely not at Facebook) and one date night every week topped that list.
