Meta has informed investors about the potential “risk of serious injury and death” tied to CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s participation in “high-risk activities,” as disclosed in its latest Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) submission.
Meta’s advisory was highlighted under “risk factors” in Meta’s 10-K document, which provides an exhaustive overview of the company’s performance throughout 2023. Zuckerberg, 39, is known for engaging in hazardous pastimes, including mixed martial arts and hydrofoiling.
In November of the previous year, his engagement in unarmed combat led to an ACL injury during a training session. Zuckerberg has been actively involved in Brazilian jiu-jitsu since the onset of the pandemic, showcasing his progress and physique through social media updates. In May, he achieved gold and silver at a Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition, as the New York Post reported.
To celebrate Independence Day, Zuckerberg shared a video of himself hydrofoiling across a lake, brandishing an American flag, all set to John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Despite receiving online criticism for his appearance, Zuckerberg is also a passionate surfer.
Furthermore, Zuckerberg has been working towards obtaining a pilot’s license. Federal Aviation Administration records show he acquired his student pilot certificate last year. Meta’s recent SEC filing suggests that Zuckerberg might have completed the necessary training to become a certified pilot, listing “combat sports, extreme sports, and recreational aviation” among his high-risk activities.
