In November of 1919, at the age of 40, Albert Einstein became an overnight celebrity, thanks to a solar eclipse. An experiment had confirmed that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the sun in just the amount he had predicted in his 1916 paper on his theory of gravity, general relativity. General relativity was the first major new theory of gravity since Isaac newton's more than 250 years earlier.
It has never been proven, and it never will be. However, there is a vast amount of evidence consistent with it, and so far nothing has contradicted it either. Einstein didn't prove the theory -- he just created it.
The above paragraph is not entirely correct. There is the Gravity Probe B experiment which should provide some conclusive results regarding proving the theory in the near future. See the following links for more information:

The atomic clock has proven his time dialation to be correct.
No but others have.
He asked God.
You tell me.
Einstein didn't prove the theory of relativity. It is a theory, a possible explanation, it is generally accepted because it explains a lot of things but that doesn't "prove" the theory, at least not to physicists. See related questions for the country of discovery.
The Einstein Theory of Relativity was developed by Albert Einstein in 1905. This theory introduced the concepts of special relativity and general relativity, revolutionizing our understanding of space, time, and gravity.

Albert Einstein developed the general theory of relativity and the special theory of relativity in the early 20th century. These groundbreaking theories revolutionized our understanding of gravity, space, and time.
The theory of relativity was first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905, with his publication of the special theory of relativity. Later, in 1915, Einstein further developed his theory with the publication of the general theory of relativity.
Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity while working as a patent clerk in Bern, Switzerland in 1905. He published his theory in a paper titled "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies." This groundbreaking work revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity.
