Mark Zuckerberg has reminded us all of a sage piece of advice - if he wanted to, he would.

Although, to be fair, most people aren’t tech moguls with billions of dollars lying around to commission huge pieces of art.

Still, Zuckerberg has taken a leaf out of the Ancient Romans’ book by having a giant sculpture built in honor of his wife.

The “bizarre” turquoise statue stands at 7ft tall and depicts his wife, Priscilla Chan, in mid stride, draped in a chrome cloak.

It was created by Daniel Arsham, a New York-based artist who has also collaborated with brands such as Tiffany and Dior.

The Facebook co-founder unveiled the new artwork on Instagram, posting a pic of 39-year-old Chan standing next to the sculpture in their back garden.

In the caption, he wrote: “Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife. Thanks @danielarsham.”

In the comments, Chan replied, writing, “The more of me the better?” followed by a heart emoji.

The couple tied the knot in 2012 after first getting together back in 2003 and they share three children.

It’s safe to say that people were shocked to see a romantic side to the Meta boss and they are loving the sweet, if not odd, gesture.

It seemed to gain the seal of approval from a lot of people who took to social media to share their reactions.

On Reddit, one user wrote: “Ngl, this is exactly what i’d do if i had his type of money. but i'd probably just get a statue of my cat made.”

Another said: “Okay, but I love that he’s like ‘You’re a goddess & I got a statue of your beauty’ and she’s in her robe and looks like she rolled out of bed with her morning coffee lol.”

A third wrote: “Sorry but this is the only cool thing he’s done with all his money in my opinion lol at least he’s supporting art.”

A fourth posted: “It's really stunning, I'm afraid to say.”

And a fifth user said: “This is a beautiful sculpture and what rich people were put on this earth to buy. Not parts of Hawaii.”

Although not everyone was a fan, with another person adding: “Rich people are so strange. if they both like it, cool I guess.”

Whether or not you actually like the art, you’ve got to admit - it's quite a romantic gesture!
