Mark Zuckerberg Burns 400,000 Liters of Diesel for a Surf Trip While Spending $1 Billion on a Climate Crisis Bunker
Mark Zuckerberg’s $300 million superyacht just burned 400,000 liters of diesel traveling 4,800 miles from San Francisco to Tahiti so he can enjoy a few waves in a paradise often called a "surfer’s dream." For context, that’s enough fuel to heat 200 American homes for an entire year. Yes, you read that right. While the planet faces a climate crisis—with wildfires, floods, and extreme heat becoming our new reality—one of the world’s wealthiest men is effectively dumping carbon into the atmosphere for a hobby.
But here’s the kicker: Zuckerberg knows we’re in the middle of a crisis. Reports show he’s spent close to $1 billion building a survival bunker in Hawaii—a grim acknowledgment of the escalating risks tied to climate change. Yet, this act of sending his yacht halfway across the world, complete with a $30 million shadow vessel and likely flying in himself on his $71 million private jet, demonstrates a glaring indifference to the very crisis he’s preparing to outlast.
Zuckerberg is worth $202 billion. He could meaningfully support renewable energy research, fund climate solutions, or advocate for sustainable surfing practices. Instead, he’s showcasing what can only be described as peak climate privilege: leveraging immense wealth to insulate himself from the disaster while contributing to it.
Let’s also not forget the backdrop of this indulgence. French Polynesia, including Tahiti, is one of the regions most vulnerable to sea-level rise. Billionaires enjoying its waves while accelerating the climate impacts threatening its very existence isn’t just ironic—it’s dystopian.
The time for calling out hypocrisy is now. We’re tired of leaders and tech moguls preaching about global crises while refusing to adjust their lifestyles. The carbon footprint of Zuckerberg’s yacht journey should be a wake-up call, not just for him but for anyone still believing we can solve this crisis without significant behavior changes—especially from those who have the most.
While most of us are being told to carpool, recycle, and turn down our thermostats, the ultra-wealthy are jetting off to private islands and treating diesel fuel like it’s tap water. Let’s stop pretending that individual action alone will save the planet when the top 1% are burning through resources at such an astronomical rate.
Climate justice starts with accountability—and it’s long past time we demand it from those with the greatest means to make a difference.
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 - Luxurylaunches

Very disappointing. This behavior contradicts the efforts to address climate change. It's important for influential figures to set a responsible example for environmental stewardship.

It's very disgusting when humans cannot schedule up on positive measures for the environment while undertaking recreational activities,,,,,,such money would be geared towards positive climate change

He has resources to make a huge difference, why not use them to help mitigate the crisis rather than just preparing for it? It just feels out of touch.
