Mark Zuckerberg’s Daughter Thought He Was a Cattle Rancher
February 19, 2024
One of Mark Zuckerberg’s daughters mistakenly believed that her father was a cattle rancher rather than the CEO of Meta Platforms. She came to that conclusion after seeing the growing ranch that her father maintains in Hawaii.
In an interview with Morning Brew Daily, Zuckerberg shared a story of what his daughter thinks he does for a living. He explained, “If you’re like a kid like my daughter — it’s kind of hard to wrap your head around like what Meta is, right? It’s this very abstract idea, right? She’s a young kid. So my daughter, for a while, just thought I was a cattle rancher.”
However, Zuckerberg joked that if he were ever to be done in his role with Meta, he would run a company he called “Mark’s Meats.” The company would piggyback not only on his passion for ranching but also on his secondary hobby of smoking the meat he has produced.
Even though cattle ranching is currently a passion project for Zuckerberg, he has his daughter’s support if he ever wants to transition full-time from the tech world to ranching. However, his daughter let him know that “Mark’s Meats” just isn’t ready for “prime-time” yet.
The Meta founder called his cattle ranch “a project.” He plans on producing the highest quality meat in the world but doesn’t plan on elevating his hobby commercially.
Zuckerberg owns $170 million of land on the Hawaiian island of Kuai. In a Facebook post, Zuckerberg revealed his future plans for the cattle ranch.
The tech guru plans to eventually raise his herd on a homegrown diet. They’ll be fed a diet of homegrown macadamia meal and the animals will also drink beer produced on his ranch.
Zuckerberg explained in the post that he wanted more control over the production process and to reduce his reliance on external suppliers. Therefore, he is planting acres of macadamia trees, with the help of his daughters Maxima, August, and Auriela, to produce enough food to feed the cows, who each eat upwards of 5,000-10,000 pounds yearly.
