I'm kinda disappointed that he didn't wear his trademark hoodie to the wedding like the way he did to the IPO roadshow. :/

I'm not--someone who takes marriage more seriously than running a multi-billion-dollar company, has their priorities straight. :)

Man, this kid is having the time of his life right now. How can any guy beat IPO + married in two days? Good for him, and take that vacation while you still can! From what I hear, the pressure starts to build when your a public company. Those quarterly earnings should be interesting.

Yeah, pressure from people who have authority to fire you. I don't think that's the case for Zuckerberg.

"Even after the IPO, Zuckerberg remains Facebook's single largest shareholder, with 503.6 million shares. And he controls the company with 56 percent of its voting stock." (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47491836/ns/business/)

Does anyone know what sort of recourse the minority shareholders and the other 44% voting holders have if Mark runs the company into the ground?

As erdemozkan stated in a duplicate discussion: Mark married Priscilla one day after the IPO. That means they were waiting for IPO to get married. Sorry for asking a question that may seem obvious to others, but why were they waiting for the IPO? Is it for financial or legal reasons, such as a Community Property State? Did Zuckerberg sign a prenuptial agreement? An internet search implies he didn't. This reminds me o…

I would marry someone I trusted to death and beyond, compared to which trusting with mere property is trivial. Yes, it's a risk... there's a saying about risk, though, isn't there? Let's give Mark the benefit of the doubt and assume he's marrying for love.

>mere property

Mark's stake in Facebook is a lot of mere property.

> Did Zuckerberg sign a prenuptial agreement? An internet search implies he didn't. Yes. That's exactly the kind of questions that Google helps you solve.

Given how carefully he has protected his stake thus far, it would be very surprising if he had not done a pre-nup.

My understanding is that he's been with this girl since Facebook started anyway. I'd be surprised if she did not have a fair stake in Facebook even if she were not married to Mark.

Pretty sure he's not planning on running it into the ground.

The couple may be madly in love today, but human emotions are fickle and people change and grow over time. Sadly, there may come a day when both are more concerned with the future of the FB empire than with each other.

No on said he did. Nobody plans on running companies into the ground.

It still occurs with unsurprising regularity. Lots of interesting books out there which talk about why.
