Facebook is constantly making headlines.
With so much going on, did the company’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, possibly manage to take any time off this summer? It looks like the answer is yes.
Zuckerberg, the eighth-richest person in the world, spent his downtime bouncing between the waterfronts of his multiple private residences and taking a few Instagramable selfies with his wife.
Here’s a look at what he has been up to this summer, including his surfing lesson from a professional.
A company spokesman declined to comment on Zuckerberg’s summer when reached by Business Insider.
Zuckerberg started off the summer by heading to Europe on business to meet the president of France and other European lawmakers.
In the wake of privacy scandals, Zuckerberg went to Paris in early May to discuss stronger tech regulation with French President Emmanuel Macron. He also met European lawmakers in Brussels to explain Facebook’s recent scandals, including privacy problems and its role in election interference.
He took the opportunity to explore Europe with his wife, Priscilla Chan, who accompanied him on the trip.
On May 12, he posted a photo in front of the Louvre in Paris.
