Mark Zuckerberg loves his wife? That’s nice – but let’s stop fawning over a guy who fawns over Trump | Arwa Mahdawi
Meta’s ‘awkward dork’ boss has updated his haircut and his wardrobe – and shown the world how much family means to him. He’s still a billionaire with skeletons in the cupboard
Do they hand out Nobel prizes for PR? Because the team behind Mark Zuckerberg’s recent metamorphosis deserves one immediately. Not so long ago, Zuck was widely known as an awkward dork with an unflattering haircut, whose corporate empire did evil things such as fuelling genocidal violence in Myanmar, spreading misinformation and harvesting people’s personal information.
Now, however, the tech mogul keeps making headlines for far fluffier reasons. This has been the year of the Zucknaissance, with people marvelling over his jazzy new wardrobe and far more flattering hair. In what may be an effort to seem more relatable, he has made his private life a lot more public. It’s not clear whether Zuckerberg, who has been married to Priscilla Chan for 12 years, has always been a fan of the big romantic gesture, but he certainly now seems to want to be known as a major “wife guy”.
