Then: Mark Zuckerberg hired his older sister—an actual Harvard grad—as one of Facebook's first two dozen employees. In an interview with the New York Times, she revealed that Mr. Zuckerberg had to convince her to take his stock offer rather than ask for more cash.



But Ms. Zuckerberg never really left behind her first love: singing under the stage name Randi Jayne. In between coming up with the idea for Facebook Live, the video channel that's featured interviews with Oprah and President Obama, she also got famous for doing bachelorette party lipdub in Las Vegas with Julia Allison and singing at company functions backed by a band of Facebookers. Ms. Zuckerberg seemed like an appropriate foil to her brother's nervous reticence, however. She was promoted to director of marketing, or, as she puts it on LinkedIn "Creative & Buzz Marketing, Politics, and Social Change."



Now: After leaving Facebook last August, Ms. Zuckerberg launched a social media consultancy, R to Z Media. Nonetheless, she told the Times that's she's still interested in everything from having her own talk show to performing on Broadway to philanthropy. As long she took the stock, we're guessing she can pretty much write her own ticket.
