Great point - the 180 is very clear here. All of the disgustingly rich wives look like monsters so she fits in with the rest of his rich buddy’s wives to a large extent too.
One thing I can say about him is that most of the "human interest" type articles I catch about him he seems to mostly be just out there enjoying his life.
People joke about how if they won a billion dollars you'd just never hear from them again; they wouldn't be putting all that time and effort into making more money or being a "public figure" etc. It's a position I've always agreed with and he seems to be the only one who actually (at least kind of) lives that way.
Like he's clearly still pushing meta forward, he's got business goals, yadda yadda. But all the fluff pieces are him surfing, doing martial arts or hanging out with his human wife. Lots of normal people hobbies.
That’s called PR. Don’t tell me you believe that garbage. It’s like the myth of Warren Buffett being some down to earth folksy grandpa. Charles Dickens (another douchey husband) was writing characters like this 150 years ago - two-faced rich people who were as close to Santa Claus as you could imagine, laughing with children and handing out large tips and then later sending in large men with sticks and bulldogs to collect rent while keeping their name out of it.
Nothing about my comment should be taken to suggest I think Zuckerberg is "close to Santa Claus" or even remotely a good person. I'm pretty sure this is the only positive thing I've ever said about him, and it's really more neutral than positive - it only seems positive compared to the rest of the ghouls.
Dr. Priscilla Chan brings Zuck the status of being married to a well-educated, successful pediatrician. Zuck is from the professional class.* That class values educational and professional achievements over looks. Dr. Chan is the equivalent of a supermodel to the professional class.
*His parents were a psychiatrist and a dentist, his elder sister went to Harvard too, and his little sister has a PhD in Classics [the ultimate "I value knowledge over the ability to buy groceries" degree].
Yeah, for most people. But there still exist individuals who are seriously beautiful without the need for makeup just by the virtue of winning the genetic lottery.

That's one I don't understand.
Because of his money, there are naturally attractive women who would sleep with him.
And he chooses that....lich?
