Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently offered a glimpse into his daily routine, which involves waking up at 8am, training with Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters and learning Taylor Swift songs with his three young daughters. In a Facebook Live Q&A, the 39-year-old billionaire, who is currently the world's 6th richest person according to Forbes, said that he wakes up every morning and the first thing he does is check Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp on his phone for several minutes or more, depending on current world events.
"The first thing I do is look at my phone. I look at Facebook to see what's going on in the world. It's a pretty sad situation to be honest. 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," Mr Zuckerberg said, as per SkyNews.
The Meta CEO described this habit 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," Mr Zuckerberg said on the Joe Rogan podcast.
According to the New York Post, Mr Zuckerberg in June also revealed that he replaced running about three times a week with three or four jiu-jitsu and MMA sessions weekly. Additionally, he does strength and conditioning work as well, along with mobility training. The billionaire claimed that he has been eating 4,000 calories per day to keep up with the intense training regimen, however, he has never revealed what he eats for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
