THE BILLIONAIRE ZUCKERBERGS – NO CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION HERE

The polar opposite of Kim K and Kanye West are our new favorite newlyweds- the unpretentious Zuckerbergs. Imagine being more interested in your WORK than material status symbols! Priscilla Chan is a billionaire’s wife who has never been seen lugging a $100,000 Kelly bag or wearing Louboutin shoes! She walked down the aisle in a $4,700 dress and her wedding ring cost a paltry $25,000! Their modest wedding featured $7.50 burritos on the menu. She’s no trophy wife or pampered princess – now that Priscilla has earned her medical degree from UC, she plans to work as a pediatrician. Obviously Silicon Valley is producing a whole new breed of brilliant but likeable and admirable billionaires with old-fashioned work ethics. They’re a credit to America.

MARK ZUCKERBERG JUST BECAME OUR FAVORITE BILLIONAIRE


There’s something we can’t help but like about multi-billionaire Mark Zuckerberg. As wealthy as he is, Mark lives a relatively understated life (he lines up at the food truck at lunchtime with everyone else) and still has a powerful work ethic. He doesn’t flaunt his success and incredible wealth or isolate himself from society. He’s had the same equally brainy girlfriend, Priscilla Chan, for over nine years and they had a simple wedding this weekend. A hundred people – in his backyard – a ruby ring. No big fuss. Surprised guests thought they were invited to celebrate Priscilla’s graduation from medical school. We’re happy for them.

How the other half lives is always interesting – in both directions. Facebook mogul Mark Zuckerberg, who happens to be a billionaire seven times over, always surprises us. He recently gave up his modest rental home to move with his girlfriend Priscilla Chan into this newly renovated house in Palo Alto. The new house has 3800 sq ft, 5 bedrooms and 4 baths – and as far as we know – no media room. Supposedly he has top notch security but the home is not gated and it looks like you can see right in. He’s not cloistering himself away from the world and continues to walk to work.

“The Social Network” has created quite an image for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, whether he likes it or not. We were surprised to learn that the 26 year old, who is supposedly worth SEVEN BILLION dollars, lives in this modest, 4 bedroom rental home located walking distance from Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif. (Above, he’s pictured with his longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan.) When the weather gets cooler, we wonder if he’ll wear socks with his flip flops like his movie character did.
