Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg has sparked online chatter with a unique gesture of love. He commissioned a seven-foot statue of his wife, Priscilla Chan, which has drawn comparisons to the blue-skinned characters from the movie ‘Avatar’.
Zuckerberg shared images of the statue on Instagram, showcasing Chan sipping from a mug that matches the statue’s color. He captioned the post, “Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife,” thanking New York-based artist Daniel Arsham for the creation.
The internet quickly reacted to the unusual gift, with many drawing comparisons to the ‘Avatar’ characters and jokingly referencing Zuckerberg’s status as a ‘wife guy.’ Chan responded to her husband’s post with a playful comment, “The more of me better?” accompanied by a heart emoji.
Zuckerberg’s display of affection comes amidst a successful period for Meta. The company reported its second-quarter revenue of $39.07 billion, exceeding analyst estimates of $38.31 billion. They also reported a strong adjusted earnings per share, exceeding expectations.
While Zuckerberg’s statue has sparked amusement and conversation, it further underscores his commitment to his family and his playful personality. It serves as a reminder that even the tech giants have their own unique ways of expressing love and affection.
