| Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, were the most generous American philanthropists in 2013, with a donation of 18 million shares of Facebook stock valued at more than $US970 million ($A1.09 billion) to a Silicon Valley nonprofit in December.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy reports that Mr Zuckerberg's donation was the largest charitable gift on the public record in 2013 and put the young couple at the top of the magazine's annual list of 50 most generous Americans in 2013.
The top 50 contributors made donations last year totalling $US7.7 billion, plus pledges of $US2.9 billion.
