Mark Zuckerberg,CEO of Meta and one of the richest people in the world, has been known for his low-profile and focus on technology. However, recently he has shown a more adventurous and luxurious side.
In a surprising turn of his personal life, Zuckerberg now owns two impressive superyachts: the Launchpad, valued at $300 million, and its support vessel Wingman, worth $30 million.
Both are part of his private fleet and allow him to explore the most remote destinations on the planet while enjoying his favorite hobbies, such as surfing and diving.
Mark Zuckerberg's superyacht
The Launchpad, a 220-foot-long superyacht, was the first to embark on a journey from San Francisco to Tahiti, a trip of over 4,800 miles. This voyage allowed Zuckerberg to enjoy the crystal-clear waters of French Polynesia, known as a paradise for both surfers and divers.
But what makes this journey even more interesting is the role of Wingman, a support vessel specifically designed for aquatic adventures. Originally known as Dapple, Wingman is a Damen Yachting support boat equipped with features that not only allow remote explorations but also ensure safety during these excursions.
Wingman is equipped with an onboard hospital, a dive center, and a decompression chamber, allowing it to operate in deep and remote waters. It is also designed with advanced technology and a highly precise navigation system, including a 360-degree bridge that offers complete visibility of its surroundings.
With capacity for 20 crew members and six guests, the vessel is built for comfort and safety while engaging in activities like diving and surfing, reflecting Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan's fitness-focused lifestyle.
Zuckerberg uses his millionaire resources to continue growing his fortune
This luxury not only reflects Zuckerberg's immense fortune, which exceeds $191 billion, but also demonstrates how billionaires use their resources to indulge in their personal interests.
While his business life has been the center of attention for years, these superyachts mark a shift toward a more relaxed and exploratory lifestyle, where technology and adventure come together.
Just as in his business approach, his passion for the sea and surfing is a statement of ambition and enjoyment of the fruits of his success.
