Thursday, September 19, 2024 - Mark Zuckerberg has revealed how he responded when his seven-year-old daughter told him she wants to grow up to be like Taylor Swift.
The Meta CEO shared the story during a chat with the
Acquired podcast.
He said he shut down his middle child August Chan Zuckerberg
and told her that following in the popstar's footsteps is "not
available".
The father-of-three made the remarks as part of a wider
point he was making on the importance of originality and authenticity in the
tech sphere.
“One day, my daughter. We took her to a Taylor Swift concert
and she was like, 'You know Dad, I kind of want to be like Taylor Swift when I
grow up',” Zuckerberg told podcast hosts Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal.
“I was like, 'But you can't. That's not available to you',”
he continued.
“She thought about it and she's like, ‘Alright when I grow
up I want people to want to be like August Chan Zuckerberg’. And I was like,
‘Hell yeah. Hell yeah’.”
Zuckerberg, 40, has been a longtime fan of fellow
billionaire Swift, 34.
