Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, 39, has embarked on a unique and “fun” project in Hawaii, revealing on Instagram that he and his daughters are raising cattle on their Kauai compound, known as Ko'olau Ranch.
The goal? Create “some of the highest quality beef in the world.”
In an Instagram post, Zuckerberg shared a photo of himself enjoying a large piece of meat, likely from one of the wagyu and angus cattle they are raising.
He highlighted the strict diet based on macadamia flour and beer that the cows receive, produced on the ranch itself. Zuckerberg humorously captioned the post, saying, “Of all my projects, this is the most delicious.”
The billionaire CEO revealed that each cow on the ranch consumes between 5,000 and 10,000 pounds. of food annually. It should be noted that his daughters, Máxima “Max” (7) and August (5), actively participate in the project.
They have been involved in planting macadamia trees to feed livestock and care for other animals on the ranch. Zuckerberg mentioned that the project is still in its early stages and they are happy to improve it with each passing season.
Zuckerberg's Hawaiian resort, according to a Wired investigation, features unconventional elements like an underground bunker and 11 tree houses connected by rope bridges.
The main residential buildings include two mansions with extensive amenities such as gym, swimming pools, sauna, jacuzzi, cold pool and tennis court. Guest houses on the property are believed to have at least 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms.
In a statement to PEOPLEA spokesperson for Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, emphasized their commitment to preserving the natural beauty of Ko'olau Ranch.
They highlighted the couple's efforts, including terminating an agreement for luxury homes and dedicating most of the land to agriculture, ranching, conservation, open space and wildlife preservation.
The initiatives encompass a large livestock programme, organic ginger and turmeric farms and collaborations with wildlife conservation experts to protect native birds and other endangered species.
