Meta alerted investors about the “risk of serious injury and death” associated with CEO Mark Zuckerberg's enjoyment of “high-risk activities” in its most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The warning was initially mentioned under “risk factors” in Meta's 10-K filing, which is a detailed account of the tech giant's operations through 2023. Despite this, the 39-year-old has risky hobbies that include arts mixed martial arts and hydrofoil.

Due to his love of unarmed combat, Zuckerberg tore his ACL during a training session in November last year.

During the pandemic, Zuckerberg began studying Brazilian jiujitsu and has since posted photos of his toned body during practice. In May of last year, he took home gold and silver medals in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament, according to New York Post.

In honor of Independence Day, the billionaire posted a video of himself crossing a lake while holding an American flag to the tune of John Denver's “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Although some Internet users have mocked the surfer for his physique, the Facebook founder is also an avid surfer.

It has also been claimed that Zuckerberg has been seeking a pilot's license.

According to Federal Aviation Administration documents, the father of three received his student pilot certificate the previous year.

Zuckerberg may have completed the training required to become a qualified pilot, according to Meta's most recent filing with the SEC, which lists his risky hobbies as “combat sports, extreme sports and recreational aviation.”
