Mark Zuckerberg recently made headlines after unveiling a giant statue of his wife, Priscilla Chan, in their backyard. The statue, crafted by artist Daniel Arsham, was revealed in an Instagram post where Zuckerberg playfully referenced the ancient Roman tradition of creating sculptures to express love. The teal statue, depicting Chan in a flowing silver garment, was praised by many on social media for its grandeur and uniqueness, with comments like “This is next level!!” and “Dang that is epic.”
However, the gesture also sparked a different reaction on X (formerly Twitter), where users criticized the extravagance, noting how few could afford such a grand expression of love. Comments like “Most of us can’t comfortably afford a whole statue Mark” highlighted the disparity between Zuckerberg’s wealth and the average person. Despite the mixed reactions, the statue stands as a testament to the couple’s enduring relationship, which began at Harvard in 2003 and has since seen them married with three children.
The couple’s love story began at a party at Harvard, and they tied the knot nine years later in an intimate ceremony at their home in Palo Alto, California. The event, originally meant to celebrate Chan’s medical school graduation, turned into a surprise wedding, marking the start of their life together as husband and wife.
