The Facebook founder shared a touching photograph of his newborn baby daughter on Tuesday.
She's heir to his $46 billion-dollar fortune and clearly Maxima Chan Zuckerberg is already quite the daddy's girl!
Captioned simply 'full of joy with little Max', the picture shows an emotional Zuckerberg nestling the tiny baby girl in his hand as they look into each other's eyes.
The father and daughter pair appear to be lying on a carpeted floor, with a pillow propped behind the 31-year-old billionaire. Baby Max's discarded onesie is just in shot.
The image, which shows a happy-looking Max kicking her feet in the air while wearing just a diaper, may suggest the Silicon Valley tycoon has already got his hands dirty and done his first baby changing.
The post has already earned thousands of Likes and comments after being shared on Facebook. Zuckerberg shared it alongside a photo of the family's dog Beast wearing a comedy Hanukkah costume. The Jewish festival began on Sunday December 6 and ends on Monday evening.
In replies to comments on the pictures, notoriously private Zuckerberg gave some small insights into his new family life.
'Everyone is doing great', he told one fan who asked how his wife Priscilla and his daughter were getting on.
Thousands of well-wishers - including many new parents who shared their own pictures from around the world - flooded the page to offer their support.
'Nothing like the joy of a baby', as one commentator said.
However, not all the feedback was glowing praise for the social media mogul. Some moms took to the comment section to urge him to put a blanket under his child so she wouldn't be lying directly on 'germ-filled' carpet.
'Put a blanket on the floor!!! Nasty germs for baby!!!!' one woman implored.
The post sparked a long running discussion about hygiene and babies - with most concluding a little free reign is good for them.
Maxima inspired one of America's biggest philanthropic pledges on her arrival into the world.
In a Facebook post entitled, 'A letter to our daughter', the couple revealed plans to set up an initiative to support good causes and pledged to donate 99% of their Facebook shares - currently valued at $46 billion - to its work.
That would leave them with $460 million for themselves and their new child - based on Facebook's current valuation - plus any other private wealth held by the couple or future earnings beyond the social network.
The letter was accompanied with a picture of the proud new parents tenderly holding their newborn wrapped in a Aden And Anais swaddle cloth covered in cartoon caterpillars.
'Dear Max,' the 2234 word post read. 'Your mother and I don't yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future. Your new life is full of promise, and we hope you will be happy and healthy so you can explore it fully. You've already given us a reason to reflect on the world we hope you live in.'
