Mark Zuckerberg unveils bizarre statue of wife Priscilla
Meta billionaire Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled a bizarre statue of his wife Priscilla.
The Facebook and Instagram tycoon, 40, shared a photo of the monument, which appeared to be made of oxidized green copper and steel, on social media Tuesday.
He wrote: 'Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife.'
Priscilla, 39, was snapped sipping a hot drink in front of the new statue, which was created by artist Daniel Arsham.

She shared the same image of herself sipping in front of the sculpture and wrote: 'You can't miss me!'
The monument shows the former pediatrician staring stonily ahead of herself while walking.
Priscilla appears to be nude, but her body is covered by a dramatic swathe of highly-polished stainless steel designed to look like a robe.
Zuckerberg did not give any indication as to what had inspired the act of love, but friends and followers were quick to hail the gesture.
TV star Gayle King replied: 'Wow! .. is there a back story here or just Tuesday nite at your house ?? Ps do you have an older brother who is black I could meet.. asking for a friend.'
Liz Kelley wrote: 'Husbands everywhere are shaking.'
Yung Vec said: 'this is the most billionaire thing to do ever.'
And a user called tapcancerout joked: 'Was literally about to get the same thing for my wife. Now I have to pivot.'

Zuckerberg met Priscilla at a house party during her freshman year at Harvard in 2003.
They wed in May 2012 - the day after Facebook's IPO made him a multi-billionaire.
The couple, who own homes in California and Hawaii, are parents to three daughters; eight year-old Maxima, six year-old August and Aurelia, who is 17 months-old.
Chan graduated Harvard with a bachelor's degree in biology and worked as a teacher for a year.
She went back to college in 2008 to train as a pediatrician and completed her residency in 2015.
