I wonder if he waited until FB went public before he got married, then it would not be considered community property....what a scum.....[/quote]
entire article about this speculation in the NYT.
speculation that she would still be entitled to any appreciation of his shares post marriage. of course, it would have to recover to 38 first before that happened.
why a scum? i think it's smart estate planning.
he's getting managed by a wealth manager out in CA called iconiq capital...i'm sure they guided him in the process.
at the end of the day, she's a UCSF trained pediatric doc (won't be slumming it)...and even if they do get a divorce, she'll be entitled to at least some of his net worth. they've been together for almost a decade...i have to give him props for keeping that one...imagine all the gold diggers (probably super hot) that he's come into contact with over the past 5 years or so...[/quote]
No offense, but this is coming from a man's point of view and mine a woman who has personal experience with someone so calculating. I am pretty sure that if the marriage falls apart, he will do everything in his power to give her nothing....or as little as possible, no matter how loyal and supportive she was during all the years of long hours and meager beginnings...all things I am sure she endured as much as him....
Someone who loves for the sake of loving is not so calculating....he would want her to be happy and take care of her no matter what, that is what love is....[/quote]
this isn't the forum for it, but i don't take offense. i'll leave it that we're of differing opinion.
i don't think he's '"scum" for that particular aspect, and you're right, it's calculating...and i think a non-emotional and rational approach to a major issue like $17B should be done with a calculator.
