Net Worth

by Eddie Aderne

“Mark Zuckerberg has raised eyebrows by commissioning a giant sculpture of his wife, Priscilla Chan.
… Chan is rendered in green and appears to be mid-stride, with a large silver cloak flowing behind her.
… Zuckerberg… recently post[ed] a video of him surfing while wearing a tuxedo and holding an American flag.”
The Guardian

Behold Priscilla, in a goddess-attitude:
A towering spectacle of caryatitude;
Now mark how Mark, the Internet torpedo,
Bestrides the surf, flag raised, in full tuxedo.
These images are overwhelming. Which is
A finer sign of super-human riches?
See two philanthropists to scare Attila:
Hail the united fortunes of Zuckzilla!
