Mark ZuckerbergMark Zuckerberg has been working on a "fun" new project with a little help from his daughters!
On Tuesday, the 39-year-old Meta CEO revealed on Instagram that he and his children have been raising cattle in Hawaii with the goal of creating “some of the highest quality beef in the world.”
The post featured a photo of a smiling Zuckerberg eating a large piece of meat, presumably from one of the cows they raised.

The father of three said the cattle raised at their compound on Kauai, known as Ko'olau Ranch, “are wagyu and angus.” The cows will live on a strict diet of macadamia meal and beer that they grow and produce on the ranch, he added.
“Of all my projects, this is the most delicious,” Zuckerberg quipped in the caption.
Each cow on the ranch eats between 5,000 and 10,000 lbs. of food a year, according to the billionaire — and daughters Maxima "Max," 7, and August, 5, have helped plant the macadamia trees needed to feed the cattle on top of taking care of other animals on the ranch. (Aurelia, who was born in March 2023, is too young to help, for now.)
“We're still early in the journey and it's fun improving on it every season,” the dad wrote.
According to an in-depth investigation by Wired, Zuckerburg’s compound appears to include several unconventional features, including an underground bunker with a concrete-filled metal door and 11 tree houses connected by rope bridges,
The main residential buildings on the compound are two mansions believed to have a “gym, pools, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, and tennis court,” as well as other amenities, per the report.
There are also numerous guest houses, which are believed to have at least a combined 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms, per the outlet.
A spokesperson for the Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan previously told PEOPLE in a statement that the couple “value the time their family spends at Ko’olau Ranch and in the local community and are committed to preserving the ranch’s natural beauty.”
“When they acquired the property, they rescinded an existing agreement that would have allowed for portions of the property to be divided into 80 luxury homes. Under their care, less than one percent of the overall land is developed with the vast majority dedicated to farming, ranching, conservation, open spaces and wildlife preservation,” the statement continued. “This includes a large cattle ranching program, organic ginger and turmeric farms, a nursery dedicated to native plant restoration, and partnering with Kauai's foremost wildlife conservation experts to protect native birds and other endangered or threatened wildlife populations.”
