Mark Zuckerberg dotes over daughter for making Hawaii bunker project so much 'fun'

Mark Zuckerberg, the 39-year-old CEO of Meta, has embarked on a unique and "fun" project in Hawaii, revealing on Instagram that he and his daughters are raising cattle at their compound on Kauai, known as Ko'olau Ranch.

The goal? To create "some of the highest quality beef in the world."

In an Instagram post, Zuckerberg shared a photo of himself enjoying a large piece of meat, likely from one of the wagyu and angus cattle they are raising. 

He highlighted the strict diet of macadamia meal and beer that the cows receive, produced on the ranch itself. Zuckerberg humorously captioned the post, stating, "Of all my projects, this is the most delicious."

The billionaire CEO disclosed that each cow on the ranch consumes between 5,000 and 10,000 lbs. of food annually. Notably, his daughters, Maxima "Max" (7) and August (5), actively participate in the project. 

They have been involved in planting macadamia trees to feed the cattle and caring for other animals on the ranch. Zuckerberg mentioned that the project is still in its early stages, and they find joy in improving it with every passing season.

Zuckerberg's Hawaiian compound, according to a Wired investigation, features unconventional elements such as an underground bunker and 11 tree houses connected by rope bridges. 

The main residential buildings include two mansions with extensive amenities like a gym, pools, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, and tennis court. Guest houses on the property are believed to have at least 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms.

In a statement to PEOPLE, a spokesperson for Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, emphasised their commitment to preserving the natural beauty of Ko'olau Ranch. 

They highlighted the couple's efforts, including rescinding an agreement for luxury homes and dedicating the majority of the land to farming, ranching, conservation, open spaces, and wildlife preservation. 

The initiatives encompass a large cattle ranching program, organic ginger and turmeric farms, and collaborations with wildlife conservation experts to protect native birds and other endangered species.
