Mark Zuckerberg announced the birth of a second daughter and turned to her through Facebook

At the youngest dollar billionaire in history, the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Provocialla Chan's wife, was born a second child. The girl was called August. As after the birth of the eldest daughter, Maxim, parents turned to a newborn with a touching letter.

“Welcome to the world! Mom and I will be very happy to see who you will become in him. When your sister was born, we wrote a letter to her about the world in which, as we hoped, she, and now you will grow up, will grow up with the best education, less diseases, more developed society and greater equality. We wrote that your generation should live much better than ours. And we are obliged to make our contribution to this .

“But now,” writes Tsuckerberg, “instead of writing about growth, we want to talk about childhood. The world is too serious. That's why it is so important not to miss the time to go out and play. You will be very busy when you grow up, so I hope that you will have enough time to feel the smells of all colors and collect all the leaves that you wish.”

In appeal to the newborn daughter, Tsuckerberg wants to read her favorite books, come up with her own fairy tales, ride a carousel with her older sister, tame a horse, run as much around the living room and yard, sleep a lot - and even in a dream feel how they love her.

“Childhood is magical time. You will only be a child once, so you don’t spend anxiety about the future. You will succeed, and we will do everything possible so that the world becomes better for you and all the children of your generation. August, we love you, and we are very glad that you are going on this trip with us. We wish you the same joy, love and hope that you give us with love,” they say. In a letter.

Earlier, Mark Zuckerberg announced that he intends to take one month of maternity leave immediately after the birth of the second daughter and another month in December. He recalled that Facebook employees are entitled to four months of decree after the birth of a child.

Tsuckerberg married his longtime friend, Procedille Chan, in May 2012. In December 2015, their daughter Maxim was born. Zuckerberg told Facebook that the birth of an older child was not easy for them - the couple survived three miscarriages, the Russian Air Force service recalls.

Mark Zuckerberg was recognized by Forbes magazine the youngest billionaire in history in 2010. Then his fortune was estimated at $ 7 billion. A few months later, the founder of Facebook joined the "oath of gift", the philanthropic campaign of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. And after the birth of Maxim, he and Priscilla Chan announced that they would donate 99% of Facebook shares for charity. At that time, the shares were estimated at $ 45 billion. The funds will go to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative charity foundation, which supports schools for the poor and finances research in the field of combating serious illnesses.
