The Information's survey of 500 tech insiders reveals a lavish approach to longevity: tech execs are indulging in wellness with a hefty price tag. Top purchases include $150,000 red-light therapy beds for muscle relaxation and pain relief, and $70,000 hyperbaric chambers, endorsed by the Mayo Clinic for their healing prowess. Leaders like Bezos and Zuckerberg make headlines not just for their tech, but also for their chiseled physiques, reflecting a fusion of health and luxury in Silicon Valley's lifestyle. While the FDA questions the efficacy of trendy therapies like cryotherapy, Silicon Valley isn't shying away from costly wellness routines and aesthetic treatments. This trend points to a growing societal fascination with not just living longer, but also maintaining a youthful allure.
