ALBAWABA - Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg went viral across social media after commissioning a large sculpture of his wife Priscilla Chan and placing it in their home's backyard. The 41-year-old took to his official Instagram account and shared the photo with fans across the globe.
The photos in question were shared yesterday and quickly swarmed other social media platforms including Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter). The statue is Tiffany green with flowy silver metal surrounding the body. Moreover, it's almost double Chan's size giving it an ancient Rome-inspired look and feel.
