When Mark “NASDAQ” Zuckerberg and his longtime belle Priscilla Chan got married earlier this month, we were surprised by how modest the billionaire bash was. It was in a back yard! Turns out, it still required major bank.
Luckily, despite losing a few paper billions since the IPO, Zuckerberg can afford things like hiring Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong to sing at his own wedding, as reported by the NY Times. That probably ate up a decent chunk of the budget, but where did the rest go? The Times says Chan’s dress was a mere £3,00, and the wedding dinner consisted of Mexican food and sushi. Was the sushi served off the naked bodies of the Winklevoss twins? How else do you drop so much money on such a small wedding? Given the mega-secrecy of the couple, we’ll probably never know. [NYT]

Dear Sam,
No one cares.
Yours,
The Internet.
A £3 pound wedding dress and getting Green Day to play at the wedding? God, you think he could have had a better wedding with all that money.
I think it’s a miracle that you can get that much fabric for 3 pounds. Does the dress only cover the front?
maybe he was paid a lot of money to stop singing.
It’s amazing what bargains you can pick up in charity shops these days.
It was probably recycled fabric too, saving the environment 1 dress at a time
And 500million in the divorce
I think this wedding happened a day or two after the IPO, so Mr Zuckerberg cashed in his chips before any legal bond was made, so it can never be said that they accumulated that wealth together – ‘California is a community property state, which means everything earned during the marriage belongs to both partners.’
So she is going to have to be with him a long time to get £500m, her only hope is 10 years and a couple of sprogs that get accustomed to a certain standard of living – that should get her a nice £10-20m a year deal.
But this is all cynical talk – I’m sure her relationship to this weedy, plain looking, boring, billionaire geek is deeper than money, would any woman fake love for fiscal reward?
Where’s the “Massey Pre-nup” when you need it.
typo, should be £3,000
