- ivankirigin 14y agoThis is one of the most disappointing threads I've ever seen on Hacker News.
- tomjen3 14y agoYeah, because we accept reality -- if you get marriaged you are more likely to get divorced than not.

- loverobots 14y agoOn the other hand the reality is that divorce does happen and for people with $20 billion fortunes is different. I wonder if the Google founders have prenups in place.
- petercooper 14y agoThough to be fair, if you have a lavish lifestyle and go from $20bn to $10bn, I suspect it's going to hurt a lot less than having say $4m and losing half.
- heretohelp 14y agoNot everyone is as utterly consumed with money as you are.
- simula67 14y agoIt may not be about the money. If Prescilla has played a major role in making Facebook the $100B company then its OK. However there is no point splitting the company in half, because she was married to the founder. There is no need to demonize prenups here.
- Destroyer661 14y agoIt's not just about money. If he has a majority share, and she ends up divorcing him and taking half of whatever she can get, it may destabilize the company. At that point, it's not just about Mark and his wife, there are jobs and people's well being's hanging in the balance.
