Facebook owner and billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg has caused a stir online by sharing a post on Instagram featuring a sculpture of his wife, Priscilla Chan, whom he has been married to for 12 years.

In the post, captioned “Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife”, Chan is seen standing beside the sculpture in a robe, sipping from a mug that matches the statue’s colour scheme.

In order to realize his ambitious vision, Zuckerberg collaborated with modern American artist Daniel Arsham. The piece is rendered in a robin egg blue, evoking the elegance of Tiffany & Co. jewellery, and is adorned with a metallic cloak that resembles an angelic figure.

So far, the sculpture has received a mostly positive response from the people of the internet.

Many have applauded Zuckerberg’s romantic gesture: “Husbands everywhere are shaking,” commented one user on Instagram. “I apologise Mark, I wasn’t familiar with your game,” said another.

Of course, not everyone is impressed. “This is the most billionaire thing ever,” one person quipped, while another bluntly stated, “Looks kinda ugly, ngl.”

Love it or hate it, Zuckerberg has certainly set a new standard for romantic gestures -and maybe for billionaire nonsense, too.
