The 13 top power couples in tech

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan

  • Tech industry leaders are dating — and married to — prominent venture capitalists, models, athletes, and other powerful people.
  • Here are 13 of the most powerful couples in tech.

Kanye West may have said it best in his song "Power" when he sings, "no one man should have all that power." That's where these prominent, high-profile couples come in.

While some tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg have been with their partners since college, some notable figures in the tech sector have gravitated toward partners with just as much power and pull in their industries. 

There have also been some high-profile splits in the last year that have hit some prominent tech leaders. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie, announced in early January that they were getting a divorce. Tesla's CEO Elon Musk and Canadian singer Grimes dated for a while, though it's unclear whether the on-again off-again couple was still together come 2019.

Here are 13 of the top power couples in the tech industry:
