Mark Zuckerberg is in good company these days, hanging out with Rihanna and Leonardo Di Caprio – well technically it’s his waxwork, but since they’re the spit, it’s basically the same thing, right?
Madame Tussauds are due to open a new museum in San Francisco in late June, and the Facebook creator is amongst the new statues that will be on display. The lifelike model will be clothed in the tech billionaire’s trademark hoody and jeans – and will be barefoot.
The 29-year-old joins other tech icons Steve Jobs, of Apple fame, and Microsoft’s Bill Gates to be given the waxwork treatment.
The sculpture took between three and four months for 20 artists to create and was done so from photographs as Zuckerberg was too busy for a sitting.
A sneak peak of the statue was posted on Mashable’s Twitter account:

How many Facebook selfies with the statue are going to pop up come summer? We’re guessing a good few…
