Diet of the rich and famous is endlessly fascinating, but in Silicon Valley, tech billionaires take things to a whole other level. Jeff Bezos eats entire packs of biscuits for breakfast, or Mark Zuckerberg serves cold goat slaughtered with a ‘laser gun’. They say you don’t need a silver fork to eat good food, but even those with silver forks can take it or leave it. It’s important to note that eating some of this stuff is unlikely to make you very rich or successful, or even healthier.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos gave up breakfast octopus, roast iguanas, and packs of biscuits for Whole Foods
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos used to eat an entire pack of biscuits for breakfast every morning. He would preheat the oven to 375, get out the baking sheet, crack open the Pillsbury biscuits and place them on there with butter and I’d eat the whole can. And I was skinny as a rail.
Bezos famously ate a roasted iguana at a billionaire Explorers Club dinner in 2018, which also had python, tarantulas, and cockroaches on the menu. During a breakfast meeting in 2010 with the head of a newly-acquired tech business, Bezos reportedly ordered a breakfast dish consisting of Mediterranean octopus, bacon, green garlic yoghurt, and a poached egg.
Over the years, ex-wife Mackenzie appeared to wean him off of sweets, as he began eating organic foods and avocado toast. After their divorce, however, he seems to have rediscovered his sweet tooth. Earlier this year, thousands of people signed a petition asking him to eat the Mona Lisa.
Mark Zuckerberg used to eat cold goat meat, now skips meals
In 2011, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg decided to only eat meat from animals he had killed himself, or else be vegetarian. One night, he invited Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey over for dinner, who claims he served him cold meat from a goat ‘with a laser gun’ and then a knife.
Zuckerberg shared on Facebook that he lost 10 pounds this year because he forgot to eat. Zuckerberg used to kill goats, but now he has a pet goat named Bitcoin.
Elon Musk once fed himself for $1 a day, eats Mars bars for breakfast
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has previously gone into great detail about his questionable daily routine, where he divides each day up into five minute blocks. He also ignores most phone calls, and sleeps for six hours per night, and wakes up at 5am to go to the office.
