(NewsNation) — One of Instagram’s most popular videos marking Independence Day stars the guy who owns Instagram: Mark Zuckerburg.

Dressed in a full tuxedo (minus the shoes), the Meta founder and CEO is seen wakeboarding on Lake Tahoe, holding a can of Coors Banquet beer in his right hand and an American flag in his left hand. The caption reads, “Happy birthday, America!”

As of Friday afternoon, the video (accompanied by Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”) had more than 820,000 likes on Instagram. Several thousand more likes accompanied repostings of the video on other social media platforms.

Observers say Thursday’s video appears to have been shot near the west shore of Lake Tahoe, where Zuckerberg is building a home on a ten-acre plot.

It’s not Zuckerberg’s first Tahoe-based video on the Fourth of July. Three years ago, he posted video of him riding a hydrofoil while holding an American flag. The music behind that video was John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
