Mark Zuckerberg Geeks Out Over Fellow Billionaire

Mark Zuckerberg was caught geeking out over a fellow billionaire’s pricey watch — and it’s spurring quite a reaction online.

The Meta CEO and his wife, Priscilla Chan, were filmed making small talk at Anant Ambani‘s pre-wedding celebration weekend in Gujarat, India — which included a rare performance from Rihanna, who was reportedly paid $6 million for the gig.

Everyone was dressed to the nines … as was instructed in an alleged nine-page dress code — but it was Anant’s pricey timepiece that caught the attention of Mark.

The Facebook founder was seen practically drooling over the Richard Mille watch worn by Anant — whose father, Mukesh Ambani, is Asia’s richest man and reportedly worth $112 billion.

GIVING IT HER ALL

Mark says in the video … “You know I never really wanted a watch but after seeing that I was like, ‘watches are cool.'”

Mukesh hosted a 3-day rager — attended by VIP guests Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, Ivanka Trump and Google CEO Sundar Pichai — in honor of Anant’s upcoming nuptials to businesswoman Radhika Merchant at his home in Gujarat.

And while the festivities cost a pretty penny — a reported $152 million, FWIW — it took place yards away from some of the poorest people in the world … next to a slum, no less.

So … not that surprising people are finding Mark’s behavior a little cringe-y considering what he was doing, and where they were.

The pre-wedding weekend wasn’t without a little charity. The couple of the hour was photographed hosting a communal dinner for 51,000 locals — so the bash wasn’t totally tone-deaf.
