Their oldest daughter, Max (short for Maxima) was born in 2015, and on the day the couple announced her birth, they also unveiled their philanthropic fund, The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The fund is backed by Zuckerberg's Meta fortune and aims to cure the world's diseases during their daughter's lifetime.

The couple's second daughter, August, was born in 2017. Prior to her birth, Zuckerberg said he would take two months of paternity leave. (Meta offers four months of leave to all new parents.)
Zuckerberg was previously one one of the world's richest people, but his net worth has taken a beating this year. Though he started 2022 with a $125 billion fortune, it's since nosedived $70 billion, or about 55%, following Facebook's rebrand to Meta and the company's first-ever drop in user numbers this year. Zuckerberg is currently the 20th-richest person in the world, according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index.
