Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was recently seen sporting an extravagant De Bethune DB 25 Starry Varius wristwatch, which carries a price tag between $90,000 and $95,700 (around ₹75,00,000 to ₹80,00,000). To put that into perspective, the cost of the watch is nearly equivalent to a Tesla Cybertruck, priced at $99,990. Bryan Li, a watch expert from auction house Bonhams, noted that only 20 of these watches are produced each year.

Unique Design of the De Bethune Timepiece
According to De Bethune’s official website, the luxury watch features a white and deep blue dial, with white gold pins arranged to resemble stars in the sky. These pins are connected by Milky Way patterns, further adorned with 24-carat gold leaf, giving the watch a celestial and elegant look.
Zuckerberg’s Love for Premium Watches
This isn’t the first time Zuckerberg has been spotted with a high-end timepiece. In a recent Instagram post, the Meta founder shared a selfie with his arm around his wife, where sharp-eyed watch lovers noticed he was wearing a Patek Philippe watch valued at $141,400.
Shifting from Minimalism to Luxury
Despite Zuckerberg’s reputation for a minimalist style, where he once said, “I feel like I’m not doing my job if I spend any of my energy on things that are silly or frivolous about my life,” his fashion sense seems to be evolving. He expressed this viewpoint in an interview a decade ago, emphasizing his focus on building Meta’s mission rather than personal indulgences.
However, Zuckerberg’s appearance has notably changed in recent times. Earlier this year, he shared an Instagram video showing off a gold chain gifted by rapper T-Pain. The chain, featuring the Meta logo and a signature triangle pendant, marked a shift in his style.
New Look Draws Public Attention
In March, the public noticed a transformation in Zuckerberg’s appearance when he appeared with longer hair and a gold chain. Soon after, an AI-modified image of him sporting facial hair went viral, with many commenting that a beard would suit him. Zuckerberg’s evolving style continues to intrigue the public as he moves away from his once-simple wardrobe choices.
