We’re sure we don’t have to tell you who Mark Zuckerberg is. But, you might not know about his beautiful wife, Priscilla Chan. The two of them met in 2003 during a “going away” party Zuckerberg was throwing for himself, believing that a certain prank website was going to get him expelled from Harvard.
That website was, of course, Facebook. Chan and Zuckerberg started dating before Facebook made it big, so anyone who calls Chan a gold digger would be sorely mistaken. Besides, she graduated from medical school and could definitely live comfortably on her own!
Evan Spiegal and Miranda Kerr
It’s a bit of an odd match — Spiegal is the co-founder of Snapchat, and Kerr is the founder of Kora Organics skincare, not to mention the first Australian model for Victoria’s Secret and the ex-wife of Orlando Bloom. But, despite their different worlds, the two married in 2017.
The story is that they first met at the Museum of Modern Art in New York during a Louis Vuitton event where Kerr told Spiegal that her favorite song was “Spiegal im Spiegal” by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. Guess it was fate!
Salma Hayek and Gucci’s François-Henri Pinault
Hayek is wealthy by most anyone’s standards, but she’s not quite up there with the Pinault family fortune, which is upwards of $50 billion. The two of them met in 2006 during a Palazzo Grassi gala in Venice, and they got married in 2009, once in private and once again for the cameras.
Was it all about the money? Or do they really love each other? Sad thing is, people never question the authenticity of love when it comes to those who aren’t wealthy. But hey, not everyone has the most respectable of motives!
Nicole Schuetz and Kevin Systrom
A lot of people erroneously assume that any girl on the arm of a wealthy guy is just a trophy who is there for her looks, but that’s just not the case most of the time. It certainly isn’t in the case of Nicole Schuetz — who founded her own clean energy investment firm, Sutro.
Of course, Kevin Systrom founded Instagram, so they’ve both go credit to their name. The two of them met at Stanford, their alma mater, and got engaged in 2014. Apparently, the proposal included Kevin faking the disappearance of their dog to lure Nicole to the right spot.
They say that there’s an amazing woman behind every great man. So, it stands to reason that there would be a pretty incredible woman behind some of the richest men on the planet, don’t you think? Well, unfortunately, not every one of the wives and girlfriends we’ll be talking about today is incredible — some may just be trophy partners. Or is the man the trophy? After all, isn’t it even more of a praiseworthy feat to snag a rich and famous person? We’ll let you decide on this list!
