Priscilla Chan earned her medical degree on Monday from the University of California. "I'm so proud of you, Dr. Chan : )" Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page.
Zuckerberg is said to have designed the engagement ring himself, which features a "very simple ruby".
Zuckerberg's company, Facebook, began trading publicly yesterday reaching a total value of as much as $122 billion though it dropped later in the day.
The couple met at Harvard and have been together for more than nine years. They reportedly met at a party while waiting in line for the bathroom.
Chan told The New Yorker that she thought Zuckerberg was "this nerdy guy who was just a little bit out there."
Zuckerberg is now one of the youngest richest men in the world, with a fortune of $19.1 billion. He founded Facebook in the dorms of Harvard in 2004.
