He's in this for the long haul. He knows his trips to places like this will be well documented. When he runs for president in the future, it will all come together perfectly with his knowledge and stats on every single American's preferences.

He aint dumb.

He owns Net Jets, he does not fly coach.



He flew commercial until he bought NetJets, would not be surprised if he still flys commercial. He has said many times about private jets that nobody's time is that valuable, and after buying Net Jets that if someone wanted to give him their hard earned money just to fly on a private jet that he would be happy to take it.

I love how this guy is wealthy beyond imagine by doing nothing more than ripping off other people's idea and using other people's data/information.

Warren Buffett used to joke that his first plane (pre-Net Jets) was called "Indefensible." He followed that by telling how much time it saved him and joked that he should've renamed it "Indespensible."

I, for one, still enjoy a good trip to the supermarket. Or at least my couriers do.



At first, I thought this shtick was tired, but over time, I have grown to appreciate the effort put into keeping this going

Wait, Costco is a budget store now? Weird, I've never left that place without spending at least $100-200 for like 5 things.

Looks more like he is casually walking around the store while his wife buys shite.

He’s not the normal wealthy guy worth a few million. I don’t know why someone as rich as him would waste a second of life looking for a deal at Costco.

It's a story bc Zucks PR team told him to go there then leaked it to the newspaper.

They want us all to believe he's your everyday human and not an ALIEN!

I don't envy him for his wife. She's dumpy, and shops in slippers.

So you watched The Network? The original idea was just for Harvard students and alum. And if you know how to do something and someone who doesn't know how to do it throws out an idea.. That's all it is until someone actually does it.

And they could have found someone else to write code for their idea and competed with facebook. That's how capitalism works.
