In August 2024, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a 7-foot-tall statue of his wife, Priscilla Chan, on his Instagram account. The statue, commissioned by Zuckerberg and created by artist Daniel Arsham, depicts Chan in a bluish-green hue, wearing a flowing silver robe. This grand gesture was inspired by Roman traditions of creating sculptures to honor loved ones. The statue, placed in the couple's garden, reflects Zuckerberg's admiration for his wife, with him humorously captioning the post, “Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife.” The post, which also included a video of the statue, quickly garnered attention online, with Chan playfully commenting, “You can’t miss me!” The statue became a talking point, sparking discussions on social media about the couple’s unique display of affection. This gesture is one of many public acknowledgments of their relationship, which has spanned more than two decades since they met at Harvard​.
