One of the most commonly spoken words this year is: I’m too difficult. Indeed, everyone faces the dual pressures of life and work. And the executives of technology companies that are often looked up to or used as role models are also facing the pressure of “overwhelming heights.” When these executives go through their peaks or troughs, who are they with?

Most of the CEOs of the world ’s top technology companies have become married. The CEOs of companies such as Google, Facebook, IBM, Alibaba, and Microsoft have all walked with their spouses for decades or even decades. Marriage still supports each other. Of course there are exceptions like Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Musk’s relationship with singer Grimes is still confusing and divided. It’s unclear who will be the two “golden bachelors” of Jack Dorsey and Tim Cook. In this article, we come to the power behind those CEOs.
