Mark Zuckerberg’s 40th birthday celebration on May 14th has sparked a buzz on social media, particularly concerning his choice of attire. The Meta CEO’s photos, showcasing him in a black T-shirt and gold chain, have elicited a wide range of reactions online.
Many Indian social media users have swiftly pointed out the resemblance between Zuckerberg’s new look and the after-effects of attending the opulent pre-wedding ceremonies of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in India. Zuckerberg’s birthday celebration was an intimate affair, attended by close friends and family members. He shared several images on Instagram, including one with his wife, Priscilla Chan, and another with Microsoft CEO Bill Gates.
In addition to his black T-shirt and gold chain, Zuckerberg’s birthday ensemble included blue jeans and white shoes. One social media user shared a photo of Zuckerberg, extending birthday wishes while humorously attributing his gold chain to the lingering impact of attending Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding festivities. The user praised Zuckerberg’s entrepreneurial journey, acknowledging his exceptional leadership from founding Facebook in his teenage years to successfully steering the company in his 40s.
Another social media user expressed surprise at Zuckerberg’s transformation, never imagining him posing in a photoshoot with a muscular physique, gold chain, and a shirt bearing the Latin phrase “Carthage must be destroyed.” Another post in Hindi humorously suggested that Zuckerberg has developed a permanent affinity for gold chains since attending Ambani’s pre-wedding event.
Despite his billionaire status, Zuckerberg’s personal style has been a topic of discussion on social media. One user highlighted the contrasting spending habits of Zuckerberg and Peter Obi, a Nigerian presidential candidate, emphasizing their differing approaches to consumption.
Zuckerberg’s birthday celebration also included a photo with Bill Gates, which seemingly depicted them sitting in a college dorm room. However, it was later revealed to be a replica of the Harvard dorm room where Zuckerberg launched Facebook.
The Meta CEO’s birthday celebration and subsequent social media attention have highlighted his evolving style and the ongoing fascination with his personal life and career trajectory.
