Mark Zuckerberg’s fondness for hand-to-hand combat and caged fights could become a factor in Meta’s downfall in the future, feels investors. The Facebook co-founder took to Instagram recently and shared a picture of himself grievously injured and recuperating in a bed. Sharing the photo, the business tycoon wrote that he injured his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) during a sparring match.
“Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it.Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me. I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that’s delayed a bit. Still looking forward to doing it after I recover. Thanks to everyone for the love and support,” wrote the business tycoon.
‘Warning’ in SEC report
However, the shareholders of Meta are none too pleased with Zuckerberg’s stunt for dangerous fights. In a recent Security & Exchange Commission report, the Meta team expressed concern over Zuckerberg’s injuries and how such health setbacks can spell doom for the company in the long run.
In the ‘risk factor’ of the report, Meta said that the CEO’s performance and overall health are directly linked to the organisation’s well-being.
“We currently depend on the continued services and performance of our key personnel, including Mark Zuckerberg. Mr. Zuckerberg and certain other members of management participate in various high-risk activities, such as combat sports, extreme sports, and recreational aviation, which carry the risk of serious injury and death. “If Mr Zuckerberg were to become unavailable for any reason, there could be a material adverse impact on our operations,” read the report.
Zuckerberg recently surpassed Microsoft founder Bill Gates to become the fourth richest person in the world with a net worth of $165 billion.
