Check out these ultra-realistic masks of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg that cost $20,000 a piece and a month to make

Meier said he then spent pretty much all of last year working on more than a dozen masks for Beeple, crafting the likenesses of figures in the tech zeitgeist including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos. The cost may speak to the labor and time-intensive artistic process behind Meier's creations. A brand new mask can take a month or more to complete, a process in which Meier researches reference photos, creates designs using the graphic program"ZBrush," and then 3-D prints a mold.
Then there's the hair, which Meier said is made out of higher-end synthetic fiber that he works in with tools like felting needles, and often styles with a hot iron. For Elon Musk's signature undercut do, Meier said he even brought in a professional hairstylist to help recreate it.
