The couple was not sure they would be able to have another
child after a difficult pregnancy with their first daughter,
born in 2015, Zuckerberg, 32, said in a post on Facebook, the
world's largest social network.
"I cannot think of a greater gift than having a sister and I'm
so happy Max and our new child will have each other," Zuckerberg,
who grew up with three sisters, wrote.
Their first daughter, Max, briefly entered the spotlight last
year when Zuckerberg posted a photo of her getting immunization
shots and was inundated with Facebook users debating the merits
of vaccines.
The announcement came on the same day that Facebook shares hit
an all-time of $138.57, riding upbeat expectations for growth as
well as recent gains in the broader market.
Zuckerberg has a net worth of $57.8 billion, according to Forbes
magazine, although in 2015 he pledged to put 99 percent of his
Facebook shares into a new philanthropy project focusing on
human potential and equality.
