Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan welcome new daughter

Zuckerberg revealed he and Chan had three miscarriages, and said he hoped talking about the experience would help others going through the same thing.

Huffington Post editor-in-chief Ariana Huffington also congratulated Zuckerberg and Chan on their new arrival.

We will give 99% of our Facebook shares – now about $45 billion – during our lives to advance this mission.

“We will do our part to make this happen, not only because we love you, but also because we have a moral responsibility to all children in the next generation”. “You’ve given us hope that together we can build this world for Max and all children”. Our initial areas of focus will be personalized learning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities. Zuckerberg’s recent announcement that he’d take two months of paternity leave was celebrated as a big win for gender equality, and could shift how companies and men approach family leave.

“Like all parents, we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today”, the note reads.

“Mark and Priscilla: Congratulations-we’re thrilled for both of you!” Experts have his Facebook shares valued at approximately $45 billion.

Zuckerberg outlined his philanthropic mission, focused on “advancing human potential and promoting equality”, in a letter to his newborn daughter. According to 24/7 Wall St, he is planning to sell or gift no more than $1 billion worth of Facebook shares per year.

Mark Zuckerberg is officially a dad. Any sale of shares by Mr. Zuckerberg will be conducted pursuant to a trading plan established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Some 99% of his shares will go to the charity – the tech tycoon owns 4m shares of class A common stock and 419m shares of class B, which have the majority of voting rights. They have given several donations this year, including to public schools, initiatives to bring better wireless internet access and to San Francisco General Hospital, where Chan works as a pediatrician.
