When you possess immense wealth, like Mark Zuckerberg with a net worth of $202 billion, the opportunities for unique hobbies and luxurious experiences are virtually limitless. Zuckerberg, one of the richest individuals on the planet, has taken up interests like mixed martial arts and surfing, particularly on e-foils.
In a recent display of his passion for surfing, Zuckerberg sent his $300 million superyacht, Launchpad, to Tahiti for a surfing adventure. Reports suggest he likely won’t spend extended time on this trip due to his busy schedule. Instead, he is expected to arrive stylishly aboard his $71 million Gulfstream G650ER private jet, accompanied by his $30 million shadow vessel, Wingman.
Zuckerberg has shown consistent enthusiasm for the sport over the years. Whether celebrating the Fourth of July in a tuxedo while holding a flag or trying out a surfboard just six months after surgery, he has embraced the activity in ways that combine his tech-savvy persona with his love for adventure. Even his Meta-branded Ray-Ban glasses make appearances during these endeavors.
Despite his dedication, opinions on his surfing abilities remain divided, particularly regarding the skill required to tackle waves as challenging as those at Teahupo’o (commonly known as “Chopes”), one of the most dangerous surf spots globally. Zuckerberg recently shared a video of himself engaged in downwind foiling, showcasing his continued exploration of the sport. Whether he’ll brave the infamous Chopes remains uncertain, but many are eager to see if he takes on the challenge.
