The statue shows a sculpted silver piece of material flowing behind the rendering of Ms Chan and appears to be in a garden.<\/p>\n
His wife, philanthropist Priscilla Chan, is seen in the photo sipping out of a mug.<\/p>\n
She commented on her husband’s Instagram post, saying, “The more of me the better?” with a heart emoji.<\/p>\n

The statue was created by Daniel Arsham, a New York artist whose work has appeared all over the world and can currently be seen in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in Wakefield.<\/p>\n
The replies to Zuckerberg’s post were largely positive, with one user commenting: “Wife guy level: Advanced.”<\/p>\n
“Husbands everywhere are shaking,” said another.<\/p>\n
“BRB [be right back]. My husband has some explaining to do,” added a third.<\/p>\n
When one user said it must have been a “fun” project, Zuckerberg replied: “Very fun.”<\/p>\n
Arsham frequently uses bronze in his work, which oxidises and turns the blue-green colour seen in Zuckerberg’s statue – although he hasn’t confirmed what material he used for Ms Chan’s likeness.<\/p>\n
Zuckerberg and Ms Chan have three children together and have been married since 2012.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
