Ahh what every stereotypical jewish mother wants her child to do: Marry a doctor.

He's a lucky man to have won her heart. She's smart. independent, will have her own career and very grounded. More of a role model to young girls than any Snooki, Paris, Kim or the typical Thai hi so decked out in bling and fur.

[belg]

he likes asian, so just image, the more value for TAT if he married a THAI lady

and thus owning only 49% of his company and billions (that is till the real value of a facebook share would come out around 1 dollar or less)

• Good girl - waits until she is sure he has enough money before marrying him, what nationality did you say she was
  

[Scott]

I am not sure of her nationality, but I believe she is an American.

They met at Harvard and have been together for 9 years.

Jewish + Chinese = beautiful babies.

Yep Chooka, Beauty and Brains what a perfect combination, a marriage made in heaven I do like to read a rags to riches story ,I'm sure you will agree.

[KeyserSoze01]

Hmm, the article does not mention a pre-nup.

[brit1984]

I'm sure she is a lovely girl but as a 28-year old billionaire, I think he could have got a better looking one

And the right to half his assets won't be making her all that sad either.

I am not sure of her nationality, but I believe she is an American.

I saw some news articles referring to Priscilla Chan as Chinese American, ie a US national of Chinese descent. Possibly, she also has a Chinese, British (colonial Hong Kong) or Taiwanese passport, depending on her parents' nationalities.

D'ye think maybe he married her for a Taiwanese passport?

[Puccini]

I was wondering what Priscilla Chan's Chinese family name is and found it on the web:

simplified Chinese: 陈

traditional Chinese: 陳

The family name 陈(陳) is variously romanised as Chen, Cheng, Chan, Chang, Tan, or Tang, depending on the Chinese dialect spoken in the respective area.

I'm not sure what her Chinese given name is, if she has any. From what I can see, Chinese newspapers use a phonetic transliteration for Priscilla; one article uses 普莉希拉, another article uses 普里西拉, both pronounced as "pulli sheila", but with different intonations.

Any chance we could just cut the <deleted> ,and just enter into the world of realism ,and that it could be just a simple case that they love each other and have done so for quite some time ,long before the guy has "made it good" big time and just leave it at that

[Puccini]

In Taiwan, her family name 陳 would be pronounced Chen. Chan is Cantonese. I know a Mr. Chan in Hong Kong, a Mr. Chen in Taiwan, a Mr. Tan in Malaysia, a Mr. Tang in Thailand, a all four write their name as 陳

You've got it right.

She gained that right many years ago. They were common law residents of Californnia and under the law she didn't need to be married to claim anyhing.

his handling of his company ipo has been questionable. he probably wont sell a share but he is standing idle as lambs are being led to slaughter.
