As one of the wealthiest human beings on earth, Mark Zuckerberg has the luxury of picking up a few hobbies. Those include: mixed martial arts, wake surfing while chugging beers and holding American flags, convincing the world he’s not a cyborg, and buying expensive, luxury superyachts.
For the latter, his $500 million Bond villain vessel, called Launchpad, has been spotted cruising around Hawaiian waters recently. And per the local news, they gave folks some insights into the boat, in case they spot it cruising by.
Per KHON2, here are some of the boat’s features:
“Launchpad is longer than a football field; It can hold 26 guests and a crew of 42; There are two helipads; Owner’s deck with a jacuzzi; Beach club area; Wellness zone; Cinema theatre; Beauty center and spa.”
Accompanying the boat is also a support vessel, the Wingman, valued at $30 million.

Before Hawaii, the Launchpad was sent to Tahiti, apparently for the Meta CEO to hunt some waves. According to Luxury Launches: “Mark Zuckerberg, an avid surfer, sent his $300 million superyacht on a 4,800-mile journey from San Francisco to Tahiti. After spending 12 days on the high seas and burning 400,000 liters of diesel, it now awaits the Meta CEO to embark on his sun-soaked surfing adventure.”
And soon after, Zuck (a goofy-foot) posted a video of himself hydrofoiling down an unbreaking liquid mountain, via jetski assist. In the caption, he simply noted: “Send it.” Surf world elites chimed in on the post with support.

In other Zuck news, he recently appeared on Bloomberg’s series “The Circuit w/ Emily Chang,” where he wake surfed on Lake Tahoe, amidst chatting with the show’s host. One of the main topics of discussion was his sprawling property on Kauai, and the reported underground “doomsday bunker.”
Zuck clarified: “No, I think that’s just like a little shelter. It’s a basement. We have the basic house we built, and I have an office because I work out there, and then there’s just a bunch of storage space. Or it’s whatever you wanna call it. It’s a hurricane shelter. It got blown out of proportion as if the whole ranch was some kind of doomsday bunker, which is just not true.”
