Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, has been making headlines for more than just his tech innovations. Recently, the tech mogul has been spotted wearing luxury watches that rival the price of a Tesla Cybertruck, a significant shift from his previously casual attire.
During a recent interview, Zuckerberg sported a De Bethune DB 25 Starry Varius watch, estimated to be worth between $90,000 and $95,700. This eye-catching timepiece is almost the same price as a Tesla Cybertruck, listed at $99,990. Just earlier this month, Zuckerberg was photographed with his wife, Priscilla Chan, sporting a Patek Phillipe 5236P model, a watch valued at over $141,000.
This new style, featuring designer pieces like an Alexander McQueen suit adorned with silver dragonflies, is a stark contrast to Zuckerberg’s typical wardrobe of hoodies, jeans, and sneakers.
While speculation surrounds the reason for this style evolution, a Meta spokesperson clarified that Zuckerberg mainly purchases clothes he discovers on Instagram and occasionally seeks advice for formal events.
Venky Ganesan, a partner at Menlo Ventures, believes this change could be a strategic move for Meta. As the CEO of a major tech company, Zuckerberg’s personal brand and image can significantly influence public perception of the company. His shift towards more luxurious attire could reflect Meta’s growth and success, potentially impacting its brand image in a positive way.
