Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg upgrades
relationship status
20 May 2012 Last updated at 02:16
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has ended
a hectic week which saw his company valued
at £106bn after a stock market flotation by
getting married.
He wed his long-time girlfriend Priscilla Chan, 27, in a
ceremony at his home in Palo Alto, California.
Chan also had a busy week, graduating from medical
school on Monday, as Zuckerberg marked his 28th
birthday.
The guests believed they were going to celebrate
Chan's graduation - but found they were at a
wedding instead.
The wedding ring, a "very simple ruby", was
designed by Zuckerberg.
Nine years ago the pair met at Harvard, where
Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004.
They later moved to California, where Facebook has
its headquarters, and Chan studied at the medical
school of the University of California, San Francisco.
Facebook's valuation after its flotation on Friday
means the social network site is worth about the
same as internet shopping giant Amazon, and more
than the value of stalwarts such as Disney.
Even after the flotation, Zuckerberg continues to
control just under 56% of the voting power of the
company.
