beer pong, poker, and MMA

2025 is quickly coming to an end, and people are taking to Instagram to share some of their most exciting moments. Mark Zuckerberg, who literally owns the platform, is one of those beings who decided to reflect on the last year. On Tuesday, he dropped a carousel full of photos and videos of what seem like his funnest and proudest moments. 

“It’s been a year!’ he captioned the gallery. In the mix were photos with his wife, Priscilla Chan, and rare photos of their children. The couple shares Maxima, August, and Aurelia.

Mark, who has a net worth estimated at $225 billion, also shared a look at what he does to let loose and have fun. In one snap, he sat at a poker table with a mountain of different colored chips in front of him with a proud smile on his face.

In another, he practiced one of his passions: MMA.

A video also proved he has some frat boy energy, making one of the last two cups in a good ol’ fashioned game of beer pong. 

It was a big year for Zuckerberg, who was a guest on podcasts like This Past Weekend with Theo Von and The Joe Rogan Experience. He also went viral for what people described as a makeover. His hair got longer, his fashion choices became elevated, more trendy, and he started wearing gold chains.

But that doesn’t mean everyone is a fan of him. In February, Pew Research found that two-thirds of Americans viewed him unfavorably, including 26% who felt very unfavorable toward him. Just one quarter viewed him favorably, and only 2% saw him very favorably.

Mark and Meta’s AI journey

Meanwhile, on the business side, Meta has been making some big moves with AI. Per Financial Times, Zuckerberg has been chasing what he calls “personal superintelligence,” spending billions on AI infrastructure, hiring top talent, and snapping up smaller startups as Meta tries to keep pace with OpenAI and Google.

This week, it was announced that Meta is buying the Chinese AI startup Manus and plans to both “operate and sell the Manus service” while folding its tech into products like the Meta AI chatbot. 

The company described Manus as one of the “leading autonomous general-purpose agents,” capable of handling everything from “market research, coding, and data analysis,” with subscriptions starting at $20 a month.

We will have to wait and see what 2026 has in store for Zuckerberg and the rest of the billionaires.
