The price of Mark Zuckerberg's new watch will shock you

 Meta's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, is one of the richest people in the world, with assets worth $198 billion. While his pictures often show him in simple gray T-shirts, suggesting he doesn't like to spend much, he has recently changed his personal style significantly, often wearing a shiny gold chain. 

The watch he bought is particularly stunning. Zuckerberg is now seen wearing a very rare watch called the De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius AƩrolite. Only five of these watches are made each year, and its dial is crafted from a meteorite, designed to look like a galaxy, with 24-karat gold flakes on it. The strap is made from crocodile leather.

While the exact price of the watch is unknown, estimates suggest it costs at least $260,000.Interestingly, Zuckerberg used to dislike wearing watches.

The unique company in Japan where several cats work in the highest positions

 

While it’s not surprising to have a cat in an office, making them company employees is definitely surprising. Yes, in Japan, a company has hired several cats. Ten cats work for this company, most of which are full-time employees. The office has been designed to make it comfortable for the cats.

There are also 21 humans employed there who enjoy working alongside the cats. When the company moved to a four-story office in 2020, they didn’t forget about their important feline employees.

The second and third floors were renovated so the cats could live there easily. Twelve toilets and other amenities were installed for the cats, and the walls were painted with materials that wouldn’t be damaged by their claws. The cats have various positions like Chief Clerk, Auditor, and Chair Cat. A cat named Fetoba, who is 20 years old, holds the highest position, and even the humans work under her. Eight cats are always present in the office, while the other two live at an employee’s home. The staff admits that the cats sometimes interrupt their work, but they welcome it because it gives them a chance to take breaks.

They also mentioned that the cats help improve relationships among people, and in return, they take care of the cats' cleanliness and food.

World's second largest diamond found in Botswana

The value of the newly discovered diamond has not yet been disclosed, but last year, a slightly smaller diamond found by the same company sold for $13 million after being polished.
