Zuckerberg was born in White Plains, New York to Karen, a psychiatrist, and Edward, a dentist.[1] Mark and three sisters, Randi, Donna, and Arielle, were brought up in Dobbs Ferry, New York.[1] Zuckerberg was raised Jewish, including having his bar mitzvah when he turned 13,[9][10] although he has since described himself as an atheist.[10][11]
At Ardsley High School he had excelled in the classics before in his junior year transferring to Phillips Exeter Academy, where Zuckerberg won prizes in science (math, astronomy and physics) and Classical studies (on his college application, Zuckerberg listed as non-English languages he could read and write: French, Hebrew, Latin, and ancient Greek) and was captain of the fencing team.[12][13][14] In college, he was known for reciting lines from epic poems such as The Iliad.[12]
At a party put on by his fraternity during his sophomore year, Zuckerberg met Priscilla Chan, and they have dated continuously, except for a brief period, since 2003. In September 2010, Zuckerberg invited Chan, now a medical student, to move into his rented Palo Alto house.[1] Zuckerberg studies Mandarin Chinese every day, and the couple visited China in December 2010.[15][16] As of 2010[update], Facebook is blocked by that country's Internet firewall.[17]
On Zuckerberg's Facebook page, he listed his personal interests as "openness, making things that help people connect and share what's important to them, revolutions, information flow, minimalism".[18] Zuckerberg sees blue best because of red–green colorblindness; blue is also Facebook's dominant color.[19]
