Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s love of “high-risk activities” pose a “risk of great injury and death,” the corporate warned investors in its latest Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
The warning was included for the primary time under “risk aspects” in Meta’s 10-K filing — a comprehensive report on the tech behemoth’s activities throughout 2023 — though the 39-year-old enjoys dangerous hobbies that include hydrofoiling and mixed martial arts.
HIs passion for hand-to-hand combat led to Zuckerberg suffering a torn ACL while training last November.
He posted of photo to Instagram showing him in a hospital bed together with his left leg bandaged and in a supportive leg brace.
Zuckerberg picked up Brazilian jiujitsu throughout the pandemic and has shared photos of his ripped physique during training sessions. He won gold and silver medals at a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament back last May.
The Facebook founder is also an avid surfer, though his form has been fodder for web users, who’ve ridiculed the billionaire for posting a video of himself foiling across a lake while holding an American flag set to the tune of John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” in honor of Independence Day.
Zuckerberg has also reportedly been working toward getting a pilot’s license.
In accordance with Federal Aviation Administration records, the father-of-three obtained his student pilot certificate last yr.
Meta’s latest SEC filing appeared to suggest that Zuckerberg accomplished the course to becoming an authorized pilot, listing his dangerous pastimes as “combat sports, extreme sports and recreational aviation.”
The ten-K filing also warns that if something goes horribly mistaken while Zuckerberg is either browsing, sparring or flying, “there could be a fabric opposed impact on our [Meta’s] operations.”
“We currently rely on the continued services and performance of our key personnel, including Mark Zuckerberg,” the filing added.
This kind of warning was not included in Meta’s 2022 10-K filing, and will not be something often included.
It’s unclear why the Menlo Park, Calif.-based firm decided so as to add the warning to its latest 10-K, which was earlier reported on by Business Insider.
Representatives for Meta didn’t immediately reply to The Post’s request for comment.
