<\/a>Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has ended a hectic week which saw his company valued at \u00a3106bn after a stock market flotation by getting married.
\nHe wed his long-time girlfriend Priscilla Chan, 27, in a ceremony at his home in Palo Alto, California.
\nChan also had a busy week, graduating from medical school on Monday, as Zuckerberg marked his 28th\u00a0birthday.
\nThe guests believed they were going to celebrate Chan’s graduation – but found they were at a wedding instead.
\nThe wedding ring, a “very simple ruby”, was designed by Zuckerberg.
\nNine years ago the pair met at Harvard, where Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004.
\nThey later moved to California, where Facebook has its headquarters, and Chan studied at the medical school of the University of California, San Francisco.
\nFacebook’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.
\nEven after the flotation, Zuckerberg continues to control just under 56% of the voting power of the company.<\/p>\n
