Vacation billionaires: how to rest Zuckerberg, Gates and Musk

It became known how to rest eight successful startups. The following are the routes for those who want to repeat their rest.

Walk on the wings of a biplane

The head of Tesla Motors and one of the main technological enthusiasts of our time, Ilon Musk, not only reflects, but also rests as an adventurer of the turn of the 19th — 20th centuries.

At the beginning of August 2015, in the media, photos from Instagram of Taluly Riley, the wife of an entrepreneur, scattered on the wings of a small biplane plane, so he spent the weekend in the UK.

Walking on the wings of a biplane is not a modern invention: they were so entertained at the dawn of aviation in the 1920s.

Save money

In 2013, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan rested in Hawaii.

At that time, Zuckerberg and Chan shared a fortune estimated at $ 13 billion, so many found a similar holiday as a downshifting, while Zuckerberg and Chan used to notice in places where rich people are not supposed to go (like McDonald's in Italy).

Escape into the forest

In January, 2015, the founder of the trading giant Alibaba, Chinese Jack Ma, bought a forest plot in New York State with an area of ​​more than 110 square. km

The main motivation for the purchase was the preservation of the natural features of this part of the Adirondak Ridge: at the end of the 20th century, its biosphere was damaged due to deforestation and mining. But Ma also plans to make the area a private recreation area.

He will have a place to roam: there are several picturesque lakes and rivers in the forested area. Although few have $ 24 million for which Ma bought land, a trip to the forest is a great way to relax and connect with nature.

Ride horses on the ranch

In the fall of 2014, Microsoft founder Bill Gates bought a Pacean ranch near San Diego, California.

Previously, it belonged to Jenny Craig, the author of the weight loss program known in the United States, and there they trained horses with good pedigree.

Paying for real estate and land of $ 18 million, Gates did not change the function of space, giving it to his daughter, who is fond of equestrian sports.

Now on the ranch train riders and horses who are engaged in horse hunting.

Swim in the pacific

Google executive directors Sergey Brin and Larry Page do not want to risk their lives on a biplane or be modest in Hawaii, but prefer luxury.

In 2012, they flew to Boeing 767 ER in Fiji, where they spent time cruising between the islands of the archipelago on the Dragonfly megayacht.

On a ship, the 73 is a meter long, the 9 cabins, and 18 guests and 16 crew members can stay on it.

Few simple Google users can afford it. However, on small yachts they ride in the waters of the Moscow River.

Get the citizenship of a tropical paradise

Dismissing from the company that you founded can hardly be called a vacation, but Pavel Durov managed to create a tropical veil around his care.

In April, 2014, it became known that Durov received the citizenship of the state of Saint Kitts and Nevis, which is located on islands in the Caribbean.

True, he was given a passport in exchange for an investment of $ 250 thousand. According to sources, Durov bought citizenship when he was still working on VKontakte, so nothing prevents him from thinking that he did it for recreational purposes.

Do not go on vacation and earn money

Tim Cook wakes up almost at four in the morning, has little rest and generally gives everyone a controversial example of perfect efficiency. On vacation, he also does not go.

In 2014, Apple paid Cook a $ 56 thousand in compensation for the days he could spend at the resort, and instead helped develop the company.

True, salaries and bonuses that Tim Cook receives are ten times more.
