Zuckerberg, the 39-year-old founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Facebook, is an avid sports and extreme sports enthusiast with a wide range of hobbies. The New York Post reported that because he was too "wild", Meta, the parent company of "Facebook", had to "issue an early warning" in its annual report submitted to the U.S. ** Exchange Commission (SEC) to remind investors to pay attention to risks.
Zuckerberg had previously been obsessed with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and had a good place in tournaments, but he also paid the price for a torn cruciate ligament due to an injury he sustained while training, and he had a months-long period of recuperation. Afterwards, he also shared on social ** that he was lying on the hospital bed with his legs fixed by a brace**. Not only that, Zuckerberg is also an avid surfer, but his hobby has been ridiculed by netizens for "weird postures" and has been made into a spoof ** circulating on the Internet.
This may be an "encouragement" for Zuckerberg himself, but for those who invest in "Facebook", it is a real business risk. Even so, in addition to fighting and surfing, he also wanted to try flying. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, Zuckerberg earned his cadet pilot certification last year, as evidenced by Facebook's parent company's latest annual comprehensive report to the SEC, saying that Zuckerberg's personal hobbies cover "martial arts, extreme sports, and recreational aviation," and reminding investors that his CEO's "love of high-risk activities carries with it the risk of serious injury and death," if he unexpectedly appears in these dangerous sports**," could have a significant adverse effect on Meta's operations".
Not only Zuckerberg, but many entrepreneurs around the world have a soft spot for extreme sports and adventure. Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz is not only an extreme sports enthusiast with a passion for flying and racing, but also sponsors a number of extreme sports and events. Amazon founder Bezos longs for space, so he invested heavily in making himself one of the first private tourists to go into space. And the 74-year-old founder of Virgin Atlantic, Richard Branson, is even more "wild", having repeatedly challenged to cross the Atlantic Ocean and travel around the world in a hot air balloon, participating in adventures such as surfing and deep-sea diving, and even went into space before Bezos, becoming the "first person in private spaceflight".
