Mark Zuckerberg ditching his gray-tee-wearing 'shy' billionaire image?

Mark Zuckerberg is taking his style to the next level, and he appears to be ditching his gray-tee-wearing “shy” billionaire image.The Meta founder and CEO was seen wearing a luxury watch during his latest interview. Watch experts told Business Insider that the De Bethune DB 25 Starry Varius costs between $90,000 and $95,700—almost as much as the futuristic Tesla Cybertruck, which costs $99,990, or nearly double the average US salary.Earlier this month, the 40-year-old tech mogul posted a photo on Instagram with his wife, Priscilla Chan, in which he was sporting another luxury watch on his wrist—a Patek Phillipe reference 5236P, which costs more than $141,000.Zuckerberg's wardrobe transformation signals a change in style for the social media mogul, who was previously known for favoring Silicon Valley chic—a simple hoodie, jeans, and sneakers."I feel like I'm not doing my job if I'm spending any of my energy on silly or frivolous things in my life, so I can devote all of my energy to creating the best products and services to achieve our purpose and fulfill our mission," he had said a decade ago in an interview about his personal style.But now, it appears Zuckerberg's signature uniform has gotten an update, with gold chains, bouncy curls, and designer clothes like an Alexander McQueen suit embellished with luxurious silver dragonflies.Rumors of a wardrobe transformation first surfaced in March, when the public noticed that the Facebook founder was rethinking his style."Is Mark Zuckerberg Getting Stylish?" one X user quipped. Then an AI-altered image of Zuckerberg with an unshaven face appeared online after he posted a clip of himself with longer hair and a gold chain around his neck.The New York Times described the Meta boss in a shiny shearling coat as a “new, looser” version of the controversial billionaire.Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal dubbed him “Mark Zuckerberg 3.0,” who has ditched casual streetwear in favor of Buck Mason sweaters, Todd Snyder basics, and Vuori athletic wear.
