Mark Zuckerberg Unveils Giant Statue of His Wife

by

Mark Zuckerberg took to Instagram on Tuesday to show off a giant statue of his wife Priscilla Chan that the couple erected in their backyard. Zuckerberg praised the act of extreme love as “bringing back” [a] “Roman tradition.”

Zuckerberg posted a photo and video showing off a turquoise statue depicting Chan’s likeness as if it were a Roman statue. It wears a flowing silver robe that wraps around the statue like angel wings. In Zuckerberg’s photo, the real-life Chan stands next to his enlarged likeness, wearing a bathrobe and sipping a cup of coffee. The video pulls back to show the statue in the couple’s garden, where it occupies its own corner.

“We're bringing back the tradition of making a statue of your spouse,” Zuckerberg wrote in the caption of the post.

Zuckerberg hired Daniel Arsham, a renowned artist who has worked on projects for Tiffany & Co. and Pokémon, to create this stunning piece. “I love how you mixed the styles here,” Zuckerberg said in a commentary about the sculpture. “It's just going to get better with age.”

Zuckerberg said creating his ode to love was “a lot of fun.” “I've been joking about making a statue of him for years, and when the opportunity came up to work with Arsham, I finally did it!” the Meta founder and CEO explained.

Many of Zuckerberg's fans agreed that the statue was “epic,” with one claiming it was “the most billionaire work ever done.” Many told Zuckerberg that Chan looked like “a mermaid goddess” and that he was lucky to have a partner like her. “Get yourself a man who makes statues of you,” user @girls replied.
