You know the first thing that came to my mind when I read this news... if a billionare can get married in a simple manner.. in his backyard.. nothing lavish. Why do we regular people want expensive, lavish weddings.. Just saying what came to my mind. Congrats to the happy couple.

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

^ So that we can post them on facebook and earn likes.

Interesting that he got married after the IPO :-) wonder what the prenup is like

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

He is known to commute by bicycle to work. Company employeesmostly live nearby and bike to work. They promote simplicity and low carbon footprint.

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

i agree but i guess because he gets to experience that life everyday whereas regular people want to be in that world for few days. and i doubt his backyard is like that of regular people.

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

^ it is - he does have a simple lifestyle I hear.

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

yes we should do such things,i.e apply simplicity in our lives..

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

hmm.. well he has a $7million home, so no.

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

hmmm… this might resonate strongly with his critics who found his hoodie to be indicative of his “maturity” or lack thereof.
Kudos to him on keeping this low key… from what I’ve heard from a colleague who’s met him a couple of times, he doesn’t flaunt his success :k:

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

That is really cool. So much respect for such people :k:

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

Yeaa..saw his FB status update last night...I thought the same "Wow...so simple and low key!", awesome..congratzzz to them.

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

Respect.

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

Wealth acquired a day before wedding would probably be not part of 'negotiations' in case things ever arrive there.

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

You are probably right about the value of his home. I thought he rented based on what the wife told me. Anyway 7 million in that area is equivalent to much lower elsewhere. Not too lavish. But overall his company promotens living closecand biking to work etc. Will do my own checking.

Still wont chase the stock at these prices.

Facebook has enough IP and treasure chest of patents that it will do just fine.

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

It is currently valued at about 110 billion dollars. What in your opinion would its rate of return be going forward - over next Gerard next 5 yrs and next 10 yrs

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

it needs two to tango and in 99.99 % cases - its the women lot - who doesnt compromise on any thing less then lavish !

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

It boggles my mind that someone living in another country cares what some businessman in the US is doing. Same with Kardashians and people in Pakistan worrying about their lives. Don't have any local celebrities to worry about?

Re: Mark Zuckerberg marries longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan

Yeah I agree
