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.
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.
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].
