How Six of the World’s Big Shots Start Their Days
Are these morning routines the secrets to achieving massive entrepreneurial success, and the building of an epic, everlasting empire? Now is your time to find out.
Mindspace discovers what it takes to get the following magnates out of bed. Watch and learn, folks.
- Jeff Bezos
Founder, CEO, and Chairman of Amazon.com
Net worth: $143.1 billion
Sleeps eight hours a day and even keeps a sleeping bag (that he ordered on Amazon) in his office to make sure of it. Also, he generally avoids meetings in the morning and tries not to schedule any meetings at all on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sounds good, right?
2. Oprah Winfrey
Host of The Oprah Winfrey Show; Chairwoman and CEO of Harpo Productions; Chairwoman, CEO, and CCO of the Oprah Winfrey Network, Author
Net worth: $3 billion
Wakes up at 7:10 each morning, reads five5 cards from her 365 Gathered Truths box, meditates, then exercises. She also eats a healthy breakfast and downs a shot of espresso to start her day.
3. Richard Branson
Founder of the Virgin Group
Net Worth: $5.1 billion Founder of the Virgin Group
Leaves his curtains open and wakes up to the sunrise every day at about 5:45 in the morning. Goes swimming or kite surfing and proceeds to eat a healthy breakfast. Win.
4. Mark Zuckerberg
Co-founder of Facebook
Net Worth: $77.6 billion
Wakes up at 8 am every day and isn’t too picky about what he eats for breakfast. He hates wasting time on small decisions so he has created his own daily “uniform” consisting of a grey t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.
5. Elon Musk
CEO and Lead Designer of SpaceX, CEO of Tesla, Inc., CEO of Neuralink, Founder of The Boring Company
Net Worth: $20 billion
Wakes up at 7 am after at least getting six hours of sleep. He and usually skips breakfast, scarfs down a five5 minute lunch between meetings, and works out once or twice a day. When you’re busy being the next Albert Einstein, it seems you don’t have time to eat like a normal person.
6. Arianna Huffington
Journalist, co-founded The Huffington Post
Net worth: $50 million
She gets eight hours of sleep a night and wakes up naturally. She has taken her morning routine very seriously since she fainted from sleep deprivation and exhaustion, hit her head on her desk, and broke her cheekbone in 2007. Oy vey.
