Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, is not just busy with the construction of his expansive Lake Tahoe estate; he’s also making waves with his unusual holiday celebrations.
This year, Zuckerberg added another memorable moment to his collection of Fourth of July festivities, showcasing his knack for blending holiday spirit with a touch of eccentricity.
On a bright Thursday morning, Zuckerberg took to Instagram to share a video that quickly caught the public’s attention. In this latest clip, he’s seen wakeboarding on Lake Tahoe’s picturesque west shore, but it’s not just his wakeboarding skills that are noteworthy.
Zuckerberg opted for a full tuxedo ensemble, sans shoes, while proudly waving an American flag and sipping on a can of Coors Banquet beer. The backdrop of this spectacle is the west shore, where his sprawling 10-acre property is under development.
This isn’t Zuckerberg’s first unconventional Fourth of July appearance on the lake. In 2021, he posted a video of himself gliding on a hydrofoil, holding a large American flag.
This year, his choice of attire and accessories, paired with the patriotic anthem “Born in the U.S.A.” by Bruce Springsteen, added an extra layer of intrigue.
Notably, his video features only the well-known chorus of the song, omitting the verses that reflect on the struggles faced by a returning Vietnam War veteran.

Zuckerberg’s Lake Tahoe antics seem to grow bolder each year. In 2022, he shared a slow-motion wakeboarding video, and while he didn’t share any lake-based celebrations last Fourth of July, he made up for it over Labor Day weekend.
In 2023, Zuckerberg hosted a mixed martial arts practice session with UFC stars on a floating barge on the lake, once again sharing the event on Instagram.
These videos offer a glimpse into Zuckerberg’s playful side, showing that even high-powered tech executives can enjoy a bit of holiday fun in a unique style.
As his Lake Tahoe estate continues to take shape, we can likely expect more entertaining updates and videos from Zuckerberg, adding a personal and quirky touch to his public persona. Keep an eye on his Instagram for the next unexpected adventure!
My husband and I love to fish at Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake, and we can often be found taking visiting friends and family on boat trips around the lakes.
