Will Mark Zuckerberg’s latest project be your new Roman Empire?
On August 13, the Meta CEO shared a buzzy Instagram post: a Roman-inspired statue of his wife. The 40-year-old’s post features Zuckerberg’s wife, Priscilla Chan, standing beside a larger-than-life statue commissioned by the tech icon in her honor. The statue has a flowing metallic surface wrapped around the green image of Chan.
“Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife,” the caption for the post reads.
Zuckerberg also credited the artist behind the statue, Daniel Arsham and thanked him for the creation. Arsham is a contemporary New York City-based artist whose previous collaborations include brands like Pokémon and Tiffany & Co.
The CEO’s post caused a quite a stir on the platform.
“This is the most billionaire thing to do ever,” a user replied.
“The right woman turns a boy into a real man!” another added.
“Wife guy level: Advanced.”
One other quipped, “I was literally about to get the same thing for my wife. Now I have to pivot.”
Chan also chimed into the comments section, joking, “The more of me, the better?”
Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager discussed the structure on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, noting that Arsham is Chan’s favorite artist.
“Mark Zuckerberg decided he was going to surprise his wife, Priscilla, with what he would, I think he believes, is the ultimate gift,” Kotb explained while trying to make sense of the artwork.
Read on for more about Chan, the woman who inspired the tech entrepreneur’s latest project.
