Mark Zuckerberg has become the subject of a viral internet joke after a photo of him walking with his wife, Priscilla Chan, was shared with the claim that he is the only billionaire who remains faithful to his wife. The meme has attracted thousands of reactions as of Thursday 12 November, with some users praising the Meta CEO while others have turned his personal life into a target for jokes.
The online discussion took a more personal turn when one commenter claimed Zuckerberg was 'too autistic to have a mistress'. The remark sparked further jokes about his social skills and public image, although the comment is not evidence of a medical diagnosis or proof of his faithfulness.
Why Zuckerberg Went Viral
The meme, shared on Reddit on Thursday, showed Zuckerberg walking beside Chan on a sidewalk. Its caption described him as the 'only billionaire who is still faithful to his wife,' making a joke about the recent scandals involving other wealthy business leaders.
The post gained attention as news about former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's reported affairs spread online. Huang admitted in a 8 November message to employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife, saying his actions had hurt his family and that he had no excuse for what he did, according to his public apology.
Huang's admission led to more online jokes about wealthy technology leaders and their relationships. Zuckerberg was placed on the opposite side of the discussion, with users joking that he had become the last loyal billionaire, even though the meme offered no proof about what happens in his private life.
Fans Mock His 'Awkward' Image
One of the most widely discussed replies to the Reddit post read, 'He is too autistic to have a mistress.' The commenter went on to joke that Zuckerberg was already lucky to have found a wife and suggested that he might not even notice if someone tried to flirt with him.

Other users joined the discussion with jokes about his awkward public image and personality. Some suggested that his interest in technology and his reported love for virtual reality made him less likely to seek attention outside his marriage, while others questioned whether anyone could know what happens behind closed doors.
However, these remarks remain online opinions rather than facts about Zuckerberg's health or private relationships. There is no basis in the discussion to treat the autism remark as a confirmed diagnosis, and the absence of public reports about an affair does not prove that someone has never been unfaithful.
His Marriage to Priscilla Chan
Zuckerberg and Chan have been together for more than two decades after meeting at Harvard University in 2003. The couple dated for several years before getting married in a small ceremony at their home in Palo Alto, California, on 19 May 2012, as reported in coverage of their wedding.
The Meta founder has also shared public gestures of affection for his wife over the years. In November 2024, he worked with rapper T-Pain on a cover of 'Get Low,' the song that was playing when he first met Chan at a college party, as part of a tribute to their dating anniversary.
Chan reacted to the song with laughter and called it romantic, while Zuckerberg shared the project with his followers. The gesture attracted attention online and added to the public image of the couple as longtime partners, according to reports about the musical tribute.
For now, the 'faithful billionaire' label remains an internet joke rather than a fact that can be independently proven. Still, the meme shows how quickly public opinion can turn a billionaire's marriage into a talking point when other powerful figures face relationship scandals.
