The weird eating habits of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and other tech billionaires
- Many of the world’s leading technology billionaires have admitted to having bizarre eating habits and following less-than-healthy diets
Just because billionaires have the money to pay for pricey personal chefs or high-end healthy foods doesn’t mean that they are following diets that are good for them.
Some of the richest people in the technology industry have some pretty terrible – or bizarre – eating habits.
While some experiment with the latest health fads, such as veganism and the Paleo diet – a dietary plan based on foods similar to what might have been eaten in the Palaeolithic era, during the early part of the Stone Age – there are other tech billionaires who enjoy eating chocolate bars for breakfast or skip eating altogether for days.
So even though there are some wealthy techies whose diets you will want to copy to replicate their levels of success, there’s no guarantee they will put you in good health.
Check out some of the diets and foods that tech billionaires swear by:
Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, the venture capital conglomerate, estimates he drinks 20 cups of tea a day.
“I’m not sure how I’d survive without English Breakfast tea,” Branson said in 2016.
Branson said in 2010 that he likes to eat fruit salad and muesli for breakfast. Occasionally, he will also eat kippers, a herring-like fish.
