Happy July 4th!” Zuckerberg, who’s worth an estimated $132 billion, posted on Instagram.
The video of the Facebook and Instagram mega-wealthy Mark Zuckerberg went viral on the 4th of July. The Zuck was flying a U.S. flag. And he was riding what looked like a $12,000 Efoil electric surfboard across a lake With John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” playing in the background of the video.
Some social media users referenced a May article from The Information that claimed the Facebook founder was planning to repair his image by ramping up his media profile.
“This is the worst thing that has ever existed,” one Twitter user commented on the video.
Here is Mark Zuckerberg proving he’s not just richer than you, he’s more patriotic.

An Australian Broadcasting Corporation reporter shared the Instagram post and a 2016 photo of Zuckerberg going for a jog in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.“What a difference 5 years can make,” he wrote.
At the time of his jog, Zuckerberg was trying to get CCP permission to operate Facebook in China.
