It looks like Mark Zuckerberg has improved his spending habits and personal style with a major makeover.
The notoriously frugal tech mogul, who turned 40 in May, is entering the next decade with a whole new attitude.
Earlier this month, Zuckerberg was spotted wearing a De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius watch while recording a podcast in San Francisco.
According to YeahThe Facebook founder’s watch could be worth more than $95,000.
The eye-catching purchase appears to have been inspired by a lavish wedding Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan attended for Anant Ambani, the son of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani.

In a clip from the wedding, Zuckerberg is seen admiring the watch, before saying, “You know, I never really wanted a watch, but after I saw it, I was like, ‘Watches are cool.'”
In the late 2010s, Zuckerberg became the nation’s greatest enemy when he was questioned in Congress about selling the data and personal information of as many as 87 million users to companies.
He looked pale, ill and often uncomfortable. He wore a simple T-shirt and jeans and most of the photos on social media were of just him and his family.
His new look, which consists of designer clothes, longer hair and a light tan, is certainly a change from before.
Although he has always had a very simple and casual style, the Meta mogul has been wearing trendy chains around his neck lately.
He also started designing his own clothes, together with American fashion designer Mike Amiri.
During the Acquired podcast recording this month, Zuckerberg wore one of his own designed T-shirts.

“I started collaborating with others to design some of my own garments,” he explains.
“I started making a series of shirts with some of my favorite classic sayings on them,” he continued.
Pointing to his oversized black T-shirt, Zuckerberg said, “So this is “patha mathos” — learning through suffering.”
In addition to making his own clothes, the entrepreneur also embraces designer brands.
In June, he wore a $1,150 Balmain T-shirt while vacationing in Ibiza with his wife Chan and a group of friends.
The group spent time on Zuckerberg’s mega-yacht, which is worth approximately $300 million.

Fans have also noticed lately that the social media giant is doing better than ever.
He has been working hard in the gym and training with MMA fighters, which has given him a significantly more muscular body.
Plus, Zuckerberg appears to be sporting a bit of a tan these days, giving his pale skin a healthy, golden glow.
Last month, the 40-year-old unveiled a bizarre statue of his wife.
He shared a photo of the monument, which appeared to be made of oxidized green copper and steel, on social media.
“The Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife is being restored,” he wrote.
Zuckerberg gave no indication of what prompted the act of love, but friends and followers applauded the gesture.
TV star Gayle King responded, “Wow! Is there a backstory here or just Tuesday nights at your house?? P.S. Do you have an older brother who is black that I could meet… I’m asking for a friend.”
