Mark Zuckerberg took a selfie with his metaverse avatar, behind a very poorly made Eiffel Tower.
People made fun of him, where he went viral as a meme called “The 10 Billion Dollar Selfie”.
Turns out that figure was actually the $18 billion selfie. pic.twitter.com/hC5UIG9gtM— Alavi.X (@alavi_x) August 20, 2022
Following the online ridicule, Zuckerberg announced that Horizon Worlds’ graphics would be updated and shared screenshots of his newly updated personal avatar:

Zuckerberg said in an Instagram post:
Major updates to Horizon graphics and avatars coming soon. I will share more on Connect. Also, I know the photo I posted earlier this week was pretty basic – it was taken very quickly to celebrate a launch. Horizon’s graphics are capable of so much more – even on headsets – and Horizon is improving very quickly.
Horizon Worlds is currently available on the Meta Quest VR headset and has reached over 300,000 users within the first two months of launch. The company has since said that users have created more than 10,000 worlds in the metaverse. Facebook plans to expand the app to mobile phones and is rolling out “global shopping” for select creators.
