One of the richest people in the world is learning how to be a Swiftie.
Mark Zuckerberg reportedly wears the same outfit and trains with MMA fighters several times per week as part of the Meta CEO’s stringent daily routine — which now includes learning Taylor Swift songs with his three young daughters.
The Facebook founder, 39, who is currently the world’s 6th richest person per Forbes, starts every morning with a bad habit millions are guilty of — checking their phone immediately, according to Business Insider, which compiled the billionaire’s average day based on his previous interviews.
Zuckerberg wakes up around 8 a.m. and checks Meta’s own Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp platforms on his phone for several minutes or more, depending on current world events, the CEO said in a Facebook Live Q&A in 2016.
“It’s a pretty sad situation to be honest,” he admitted at the time. “I have contacts, and I can’t see very well. And before I put my contacts in I often look to see what is going on Facebook.”
It’s a habit he’s described on the Joe Rogan podcast as “not good.”
“It’s almost like you wake up and you’re punched in the stomach, so it’s, like, OK … now I need to go reset myself and be able to be productive and not be stressed out about this.”
After the social media guilt subsides, the mogul exercises. While he used to just jog, now he has been training in mixed martial arts ahead of a possible “cage match” bout with tech rival and X CEO Elon Musk.
Zuckerberg replaced running about three times a week with three or four jiu-jitsu and MMA sessions weekly, he told Lex Friedman on his podcast in June. He additionally does strength and conditioning work and mobility training.
He suffered a torn ACL while training earlier this month and is still recovering.
While he’s never revealed what he eats for breakfast, Zuckerberg claims he’s been eating 4,000 calories per day to keep up with the intensive training regimen.
