$19bn and just married … I hope Mark Zuckerberg got a prenup, says Donald Trump

Miss Chan updated her relationship status to “married”. Friends said the
timing of the wedding was not related to the flotation. Instead, they had
wanted to wait until after Miss Chan’s graduation. Now a trained doctor, she
hopes to qualify as a paediatrician.

The wedding date may, however, be key if the couple do go on to separate.

If the couple did not sign a prenup, holding the wedding after Facebook’s
flotation is likely to have saved Mr Zuckerberg billions of dollars in the
event of divorce. Under California law, divorcing spouses are entitled to
half of all assets and income accrued during a marriage, but usually have no
claim over wealth built up before the wedding.

If a prenup was agreed, the law gives a seven-day cooling-off period between
the drawing up and signing, meaning the exact details of the flotation could
not have been included. Mr Zuckerberg could have asked Miss Chan to agree to
limit a divorce payout to an amount or accept a percentage of his wealth at
separation. Ray Martin, of CBS Moneywatch, said anyone who had substantially
more wealth than the partner or a “unique” and marketable skill or talent
should consider asking their intended for a prenup.
