Priscilla Chan

Priscilla Chan Net Worth

Priscilla Chan is an American doctor and philanthropist who has a net worth of $50 billion. Pricsilla's net worth comes thanks to her marriage to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. But outside of her connection to Mark, Chan has had a pretty interesting career in her own right as a doctor and philanthropist. Her commitment to medicine and health influenced Zuckerberg in adding an organ donor registry to Facebook. Chan met Zuckerberg while studying biology at Harvard, which she later graduated from with a degree in that same field of study. After teaching science for about a year, Chan decided to go to medical school at the University of California, San Francisco. She graduated in 2012 and soon thereafter began her career as a pediatrician very soon. Her career choice is all the more commendable given that as the wife of the ulta-rich Zuckerberg, she doesn't "have to" work at all – and yet she chose a career that will allow her to help many children and their families. It's not every day you see that kind of altruism in the rich and famous.
