- Mark Zuckerberg revealed sentimental meaning behind viral chain necklace.
- Billionaire designing long chain to hold prayer for daughters.
- Internet debated look as ‘nerdy chic’ or ‘cool dad’ fashion.
The mystery behind Mark Zuckerberg’s viral chain necklace has finally been unveiled, and it’s more endearing than one might expect.
During a conversation with Eva Chen, head of Instagram’s fashion partnerships, the Meta CEO revealed he’s “in the process of designing a long-term chain” to hold an engraving of a prayer he reads to his daughters.
Testing the waters of fashion
Zuckerberg’s newfound accessory initially sparked memes and comparisons to “mob chic” trends and rapper swag when he was spotted donning a shorter chain last week.
The billionaire’s photoshopped beard added fuel to the internet’s fire, but the necklace itself is undoubtedly real.
Despite the fashion critics, Zuckerberg insists the necklace boils down to a sentimental gesture for his children. Chen, however, suggested the chain he wore during Tuesday’s video could benefit from a slightly shorter length.
Nerdy chic or cool dad?
While some might argue the Meta chief has earned internet cool points for his unexpected foray into fashion, others may see it as a prime example of “nerdy chic.”
Regardless, Zuckerberg’s necklace saga has certainly captured the internet’s attention, solidifying his status as a tech icon with a heartfelt twist.
