Tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg has once again captured the internet's attention with his latest grand gesture. 

Following his recent viral moment of surfing in a tuxedo while holding a US flag, Zuckerberg is now making headlines for commissioning a statue of his wife, Priscilla Chan, created by contemporary artist Daniel Arsham.

In a post on Instagram, Zuckerberg proudly revealed the robin egg blue sculpture, draped in a metallic, angelic cloak. 

The piece, which echoes the luxury aesthetics of Tiffany & Co., features Chan standing beside it, sipping from a matching mug. 

Zuckerberg playfully captioned the post, "Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife."

The internet's reaction has been mixed, with many applauding the romantic gesture while others offered more critical opinions. 

"Husbands everywhere are shaking," one Instagram user joked, while another commented, "This is the most billionaire thing ever."

Whether loved or loathed, Zuckerberg's latest move has certainly set a new bar for romantic gestures—and perhaps billionaire eccentricities.
