The Facebook founder married his
girlfriend of nine years on Saturday, May 19, just one day after the the
company's stock went public. Mark Zuckerberg
married his longtime girlfriend, Priscilla Chan, in a private wedding at his
home in Palo Alto, Calif.
Zuckerberg, who just became a
billionaire as a result of the Facebook IPO on Friday, reportedly placed a ring
on his wife’s finger during the ceremony — the ring, said to be designed by
Zuckerberg himself, was described as featuring a “very simple ruby.”
On Sunday, the interwebs were asking
"who is the woman now married to the 28-year-old billionaire?"
Her Facebook profile provides some
details: Chan was born in Braintree, Massachusetts and graduated from Quincy
High School in 2003. Chan graduated from Harvard in 2007 with a degree in
biology.
It was at Harvard where she met
Mark. She worked as a fourth- and fifth-grade science teacher for about a year,
from 2007-2008, until she left to pursue a graduate degree at University of
California, San Francisco to become a doctor.
According to the Associated Press,
Zuckerberg’s marriage to Priscilla Chan took place in front of about 100
invited guests who thought they were celebrating Ms. Chan’s medical school
graduation. It all happened in Zuckerberg’s backyard.
She graduated last week, and that's
what the pleasantly surprised wedding guests thought they were celebrating.
