The founder of the world’s largest social network, Mark Zuckerberg, has got married and updated his status on his personal Facebook page.
The wife of one of the youngest billionaires in the world is his longtime girlfriend – the 27-year-old Priscilla Chan. They met at Harvard in 2004.
The wedding ceremony took place in Zuckerberg’s house inSilicon Valley. About one hundred guests were invited to the celebration thinking it would be devoted to Priscilla’s diploma. The bride really graduated from the medical school at theUniversityofCaliforniaa few days ago.
The newlyweds had had a tough week before the wedding. On Monday, Zuckerberg celebrated his 28th birthday; on Tuesday, Chan received her medical degree; on Friday, the debut of Facebook shares took place on Wall Street.
During the first day of trading, the stock price did not change, and the company’s capitalization after the IPO exceeded 100 billion dollars. After the release of Facebook on New York Stock Exchange, Mark Zuckerberg remained the owner of the controlling block of shares – more than 55 percent.
The engagement ring with a ruby was designed by the groom himself. In contrast to the version presented in the “Social Network” movie, where the motive of Zuckerberg’s business success was breaking up with the girl, who thought him a loser, in real life Chan never dumped Zuckerberg.
The founder of Facebook promptly posted their wedding photos on his personal page at FB. And where else?
