In a surprising revelation, Meta Platforms Inc. META CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared that his daughter once mistook him for a full-time cattle rancher, owing to his diverse hobbies.
What Happened: Zuckerberg’s varied interests, including cattle ranching, left his daughter puzzled about his actual profession. In a recent episode of the Morning Brew Daily podcast, Zuckerberg said, “So my daughter, for a while, just thought I was a cattle rancher.”
Despite her confusion, Zuckerberg’s daughter showed support for his ranching hobby. He recalled her saying, “All right, like Dad, that’s clearly what you do. It’s like Mark’s Meats isn’t ready for prime time yet, but you’re really focused on it.”
Why It Matters: Zuckerberg’s interest in cattle ranching is not new. He has been raising cattle on his $100 million ranch on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. He described this project as the “most delicious” one he has undertaken so far, with the help of his daughters.
Zuckerberg’s massive 1,400-acre project, known as Kualoa Ranch, is a secret compound that includes two mansions, a network of treehouses, a gym, pools, saunas and an underground shelter. The secrecy surrounding the project, with strict non-disclosure agreements in place, adds to the intrigue.
Zuckerberg’s diverse interests and lifestyle choices, coupled with his role as the CEO of a major tech company, illustrate the multifaceted nature of his life and career. His daughter’s amusing misunderstanding underscored the unique blend of tech and ranching in Zuckerberg’s life.
