PUBLISHED: 19:23 EST, 26 May 2012 | UPDATED: 12:51 EST, 27 May 2012 When Priscilla Chan married her long-time boyfriend, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, last weekend she looked every inch the fairytale bride. In a stunning full-length white gown, 27-year-old Priscilla smiled serenely as she exchanged vows with Zuckerberg, 28, worth an astonishing £12 billion, in a surprise ceremony. Her transformation into the wife of the world's youngest billionaire, however, is more remarkable than it may seem. For Priscilla is the child of a Chinese-Vietnamese father who arrived in America with his family in the Seventies after spending time in a refugee camp.
