How the No. 1 woman in technology lives
Considered the No. 1 woman in technology, Yahoo CEO and former GoogleMarissa Mayer is not only very successful in her job, but also a woman who (may) live her life with luxury and pleasures for… a few.
He was born in Wausau, Wisconsin, where, in addition to school , he was involved in a number of extracurricular activities, such as piano lessons, a debate team, volleyball, swimming, and ballet, from which he learned the importance of discipline.
She left Wisconsin to attend Stanford, where she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in symbolic systems. She had already excelled in her computer science and by the time she graduated, she had received 14 job offers. She ultimately chose to work at Google. She was the company's 20th employee and its first female engineer.
In 2012, she became CEO of Yahoo. By then, she had managed to "fill" her bank account with many zeros.
As one of Google's first employees, she made a small fortune when the company went public in 2004.
She is known for her weakness for haute couture, as she has often chosen clothes from designers such as Carolina Herrera and Alexander McQueen. It is said - according to a report by Business Insider - that she once paid $60,000 to eat with Oscar de la Renta, while the designer's famous cashmere three-quarter cardigan has become something of a "work uniform" for Mayer, who has it in various colors (cream, navy, black, pink, red, etc.).
She met angel investor Zachary Bogue through mutual friends in 2007. The two love hiking and skiing, and they often run marathons together.
The two married in 2009 on Treasure Island in San Francisco.
Three years later, Marissa gave birth to her first child, a baby boy. She took only two weeks of maternity leave and then set up a small "nursery" at Yahoo's offices, where she would take newborn Macallister and his nanny with her.
He maintains a penthouse at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco, whose value is estimated at $5 million.
In 2006, he purchased 400 pieces of glass artwork (the average price for each is estimated at $15,000) from artist Dale Chihuly.
He also owns a house in Palo Alto, California, estimated to be worth $5.2 million, as well as many works of art by famous artists, such as Jeff Koons.
Although she claims to be socially awkward and shy, she has met some of the most powerful people on the planet.
