Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook parent Meta, recently treated himself to a $300 million superyacht named ‘Launchpad’ as his net worth approaches $200 billion.

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Meta, celebrated the Fourth of July in a unique way - dressed in a black tie. He shared a video on Instagram Reels where he was seen surfing, enjoying a can of beer, and proudly displaying the American flag, all while donning a tuxedo. The caption of the Instagram post read, "Happy birthday, America!"

One commenter humorously suggested that Zuckerberg might have used artificial intelligence (AI) to create the video. Despite some jestful responses, the overall reaction was mixed.

Barstool Sports CEO, Dave Portnoy, expressed his opinion on Twitter, stating, "You can't go from supremely uncool to cool by just trying hard. Zuck will always be uncool. I refuse to entertain the possibility he will ever do anything cool."

Public Reaction and Engagement

Zuckerberg's Instagram post garnered significant attention, accumulating 480,000 likes to date. While some praised his unique celebration, others, like Portnoy, remained skeptical about his cool factor.
