Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder with a net worth of $126.5 billion, has ventured into cattle farming in Hawaii, aiming to produce high-quality beef.
He plans to raise wagyu and angus cattle on his 1,400-acre ranch, feeding them macadamia meal and beer that he grows and produces on the property.
Despite initial controversies regarding land purchases and accusations of colonization, Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are focused on farming, ranching, conservation, and wildlife protection on their estate. (Trending: Clintons Scramble To Delete Embarrassing Photo, But Were Too Slow)

“The cattle are wagyu and angus, and they’ll grow up eating macadamia meal and drinking beer that we grow and produce here on the ranch,” Zuckerberg said.
“We want the whole process to be local and vertically integrated. Each cow eats 5,000-10,000 pounds of food each year, so that’s a lot of acres of macadamia trees. My daughters help plant the mac trees and take care of our different animals.”
“We’re still early in the journey and it’s fun improving on it every season.”
“Of all my projects, this is the most delicious.”
“It’ll take a couple more years to fully explore how this diet affects taste. But at a minimum, macadamia nuts are very high nutrition density with lots of proteins and fats.”
“There is some research on the affects of alcohol on relaxation and muscle tension, but I’m not convinced on that one way or another yet,” he said.

“We’ll tune the beer to whatever they enjoy most over time. Of course, they also graze on their pasture as well so getting the right nutrients in the soil still matters a lot.”
“I have a lot more theories for how to improve this over time.”
Their recent purchase of Larsen’s Beach from a local family’s nonprofit organization has sparked further interest and scrutiny.
