Mark Zuckerberg turns backyard into art gallery with giant sculpture of wife Priscilla Chan

In a move that has stunned social media and set a new bar for romantic gestures, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has commissioned a colossal sculpture of his wife, Priscilla Chan, to grace their backyard. This larger-than-life tribute, crafted by renowned artist Daniel Arsham, has become the talk of the town and a true symbol of Zuckerberg’s affection.

Zuckerberg, who has been married to Chan for over 12 years, took to Instagram to unveil the impressive artwork. The sculpture, which features a bronze finish with a Tiffany green patina, reflects Arsham’s signature blend of architecture and performance art. The tech billionaire’s post included both a photograph and a video, capturing the striking details of the statue and Chan’s delighted reaction.

“Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife. Thanks Daniel Arsham,” Zuckerberg captioned his Instagram post. This romantic homage is not just a feast for the eyes but also a testament to Zuckerberg’s enduring love for Chan, whom he met in 2003 at a college party while he was still at Harvard.

The statue’s grand unveiling has sparked a flurry of reactions online. Comments ranged from admiration to playful envy, with one user exclaiming, “Husbands everywhere are shaking!” Another added, “He just raised the bar for the rest of us,” while a third confessed, “I apologize Mark, I wasn’t familiar with your game.”

Mark and Priscilla’s journey from college acquaintances to a married couple with three daughters—Maxima, August, and Aurelia—has been a remarkable one. In a previous Facebook post, Zuckerberg reminisced about their first meeting and the whirlwind of events that followed, including the founding of Facebook and their evolving family life.
