Mark Zuckerberg Praised for Erecting Massive Statue of His Wife in Their Yard
Husband of the year?
Mark Zuckerberg sent fans into a frenzy when he revealed he commissioned a massive statue of his wife, Priscilla Chan , for their backyard.
“Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife . Thanks @danielarsham,” the billionaire penned alongside the upload, which featured Chan standing in front of the huge teal and silver art piece.
In response, Chan cheekily wrote back, “The more of me the better? ❤️.”
Several of Zuckerberg’s 14.5 million followers chimed in to rave about the unique gift.
“Get yourself a man who makes sculptures of you 🥰🤣,” one person declared, while another said, “Husbands everywhere are shaking.”
A third user noted, “The right woman turns a boy into a real man!🙌❤️,” as one more pointed out, “No offense I know we’re not supposed to like Zuckerberg. But this is what a billionaire should do for his wife.”
Chan, 39, and Zuckerberg, 40, tied the knot in 2012 and share three kids: Maxima , August and Aurelia .
As OK! previously reported, Zuckerberg last got social media users riled up when he and Elon Musk agreed to a cage fight back in June, however, it has yet to be planned.
In early August, Musk said that he would be getting an MRI of his neck and back, noting he “may require surgery before the fight can happen.”
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg said, “I’m ready today. I suggested Aug 26 when he first challenged , but he hasn’t confirmed.”
The SpaceX founder’s father, Errol Musk , has weighed in on the potential match between the two tech moguls.
“It’s to get publicity for X. Elon’s not faking it, just drawing attention to X. A fight would be silly. It’s so high school and banal ,” the patriarch announced. “Whatever Elon is doing here is far removed from his immediate tasks .”
“People probably ask him about this fight thing. What must he say? ‘No?’” Errol added. “That would look pretty poor . What can he say? ‘Oh yes, it will be on X!’ That seems like a more likely reply. Get something out of the reporting for X.”
While Errol seemed confident the fight will never happen, Elon’s ex Grimes thought otherwise.
“Elon is very strong,” she noted. “But Zuck seems like he’s been training a ton .”

Grimes also confessed she would ” prefer that it didn’t happen ” at all.
“I love gladiatorial matches, but watching the father of your children in a physical fight is not the most pleasant feeling,” the mother-of-three shared. “But it’s not going to cause brain damage, so actually I think this is good.”

…Event will celebrate the 100th Birthday of renowned songstress Sarah Vaughn
Jazz Houston will kick off their 2024-2025 season celebrating the 100th Birthday of the renowned songstress Sarah Vaughn, featuring Dianne Reeves and her Trio, and The Jazz Houston Orchestra featuring vocalist Ekep Nkwelle. Dianne Reeves is one of the most versatile singers in the United States. Her shows feature anthems, scat, improvised works, pop, and originals. Alongside her peers Dee Dee Bridgewater, Diana Krall, and Cassandra Wilson she is considered one of the most influential female jazz singers of our time.
Dianne Reeves comes from a very musical family. Both her parents were musicians, and her cousin, George Duke, was a well-known piano and keyboard player and producer. Her uncle, Charles Burell, a bass player with the Denver Symphony Orchestra, introduced her to the music of jazz singers, from Ella Fitzgerald to Billie Holiday. She was influenced especially by the singing style of Sarah Vaughn.
Ekep Nkwelle
Opening for Dianne Reeves is a new jazz rising star Ekep Nkwelle, a 25-year-old Cameroonian-American jazz vocalist, who has carved her musical path from the vibrant streets of Washington, DC, to the heart of New York City’s jazz scene. Her journey has been extraordinary beginning with the esteemed Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Howard University, and The Juilliard School of Music. The power of her voice has resonated with jazz luminaries such as Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
Her performances have graced iconic, internationally renowned venues, from the illustrious Radio City Music Hall, where she shared the stage with classical virtuoso Lang Lang in collaboration with Disney, to The Library of Congress, Marian’s Jazzroom, The Kennedy Center, and Lincoln Center. Her presence has also illuminated major festivals, including Newport, Montclair, Hudson, and DC jazz festivals.
