- Zuckerberg has a statue of his wife erected
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has given his wife Priscilla Chan a colossal gift: he had a statue made of her, which looks just like Chan herself. Zuckerberg shared a photo of his wife in front of the artwork in a garden on Instagram. The sculpture towers over its human model, its body is turquoise and wrapped in a sort of silver shawl. "I'm bringing back the Roman tradition of having statues made of one's own wife," the 40-year-old wrote. However, the entrepreneur did not specify which tradition he was referring to. In ancient Rome, gods, rulers, and heroes were popular subjects for statues.
The 39-year-old in the flesh, on the other hand, is wearing a pink bathrobe and holding a cup that is the same turquoise as the statue. Chan also shared the image on her Instagram story. "I'm hard to miss!" she wrote. The artist Daniel Arsham, from whom the sculpture is said to come, also showed the photo on his Instagram account.
The head of the Meta company and the pediatrician met as students at Harvard University. The couple married in 2012 and have three daughters together.
The sculpture that significantly overshadows Chan in size is a replica of her, as commissioned by her husband, Mark Zuckerberg. This turquoise and silver-shawled statue, skillfully crafted by artist Daniel Arsham, has become a talk of the town on social media.
