Evil tongues say that if it were not for Mark Zuckerberg, no one would have known who Priscilla Chan was, even though she had undoubted talents from a young age. However, the history of her family and her personal history suggest that without the investment of labor and without the determination of the girl, her life would not have developed as it had developed.
Priscilla Chan often hears the words "American Cinderella." However, Cinderella got everything that she received thanks to magic, and Priscilla worked hard to make a career and deserve a happy family life.
