Mark Zuckerberg turns to FARMING as tech titan buys herd of cattle for his $270M 'Bond villain' Hawaii compound where he'll produce Wagyu and Angus steaks

Mark Zuckerberg has become a farmer, announcing he has bought a herd of cattle which he will feed with macadamia meal and beer - aiming 'to create some of the highest quality beef in the world.'

The 39-year-old Facebook founder said he will raise the cattle on his ranch in Hawaii, feeding them the nuts for taste and protein, and the beer so the animals relax.

Zuckerberg - who has a net worth of $126.5billion- has since 2014 been buying up hundreds of acres on Kauai, and now owns 1,400 acres of beachfront land on the north shore worth an estimated $270 million.

'Started raising cattle at Ko'olau Ranch on Kauai, and my goal is to create some of the highest quality beef in the world,' he wrote on Instagram - which is owned by Facebook's parent company, Meta - on Tuesday.

'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.

'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.'

Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have three daughters: seven-year-old Maxima; five-year-old August, and baby Aurelia, born in March 2023.

'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.'

Zuckerberg accompanied his post with a photo of him eating a huge slab of meat.

Despite the apparently rocky and tropical nature of Zuckerberg's estate, cattle ranching is possible: indeed, the Hawaii Cattlemen's Council says the state has a long history of raising cows on the land.

To be sure, he has enough freezers in the bunker to store all that meat for shtf times.

He’ll never be able to make Alberta beef.

Farming is out of reach of most young people now. Everything is unless you inherent something.

[airborne]

Just because he SAYS he will be raising cattle, doesn't mean that he WILL be raising cattle

It's just as likely that he is just saying that in order to buy the land and keep the natives from protesting.

A conspiracy theory, I know, but I never trust people like him to do what they say, especially when they do something like this.

Sounds like a guy I JUST WOULD NOT LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Titus-Maximus]

Cattle ranching!

So he’s a straight up climate criminal now.

Don’t these liberals ever abide by their own bullshit?

Get some Sweet Baby Ray’s and see where it goes...”

“Right on cue for Earth Day, Zuckerberg’s Facebook announced it reached net zero for its own emissions and the energy it purchases and was working towards a net zero target for emissions indirectly created by Facebook’s activities—like business trips—by 2030.”

But cows.

[hinckley buzzard]

That should do wonders for the fragile Hawaiian environment.

I wonder if he realizes how much a herd of cattle smells.

If Zuck sidelines into Kobe he could feed them Japanese beer and higher Japanese masseuses to massage the cattle on a daily basis.
