Throughout the years, there have been more than a million unique ways that people show their love for their partners, but what Zuckerberg did recently might be one of the most impressive of all.
On Tuesday, the billionaire who built his own fortune shared a post on Instagram to reveal a statue of Priscilla Chan, showing his followers a special way he shows his love for his wife.
Zuckerberg revealed a beautifully made teal statue of himself, which was created by artist Daniel Arsham. This statue really shows how much he admires the ancient Romans, who were known for expressing their love through art.
In the first picture, Chan is shown drinking from a travel mug while dressed in a dusty pink robe that has white and blue accents. She is standing next to a statue that looks just like her.
The colorful artwork shows a mother of three wearing a flowing silver dress that dances in the wind while she gazes off into the distance.
Zuckerberg shared a post saying, “Reviving the old Roman custom of creating sculptures of your wife.” The post also had a video showing a close-up of the statue sitting in their backyard soil.
Chan later shared the post to her Instagram Stories alongside the caption: “You can’t miss me!”

People using the platform were amazed, and a lot of them praised the owner of Facebook for showing such a wonderful display of love.
“This is next level !! Love the matching mug,” wrote one user while another added: “Dang that is epic.”
A third also chimed in, stating: “This is beautiful and total [sic] awesome. Well done @zuck.”
But on X (which used to be called Twitter), things got really crazy when the image and video were shared again.
A lot of people saw the caption and seemed to roll their eyes at what Zuckerberg said.
“That’s a great idea, Mark. I’ll sell my kidney and do it for my wife,” this user said.
“We don’t all have a billion pounds,” another added.
And this person was also less than impressed, tweeting: “Most of us can’t comfortably afford a whole statue Mark.”
No matter how you look at the money part, you have to agree that it’s really awesome, don’t you think?

Zuckerberg first met Chan at a party while they were both students at Harvard College in 2003. Fast forward nine years, and they tied the knot in a small outdoor wedding at their house in Palo Alto, California.
The event was meant to be a party for Chan’s graduation from medical school, but the couple shocked everyone by getting married on the same day!
After being married for three years, they had their first baby, Maxima, and later on, they welcomed two more kids named August and Aurelia.
