Priscilla Chan (not to be confused with the Hong Kong pop singer of the same name), has a net worth of $14 billion.

But Chan has had a pretty interesting career in her own right as a medical student. Her commitment to medicine and health, according to popular lore, influenced Zuckerberg in adding an organ donor registry to Facebook. Chan met Zuckerberg while studying biology at Harvard.
