45-Year-Old Tech Tycoon Yearly Spends $2 Million To Feel and Look 18 Again

Multimillionaire Bryan Johnson from Southern California has been spending $2 million each year to gain youth.

Tech Tycoon Bryan Johnson

The tech tycoon has a net worth of around nine figures. He mainly accumulated his wealth during his 30s by selling his payment processing firm, Braintree Payment Solutions, to eBay for a cash sum of $800 million.

According to the New York Post, Johnson has been maintaining a daily routine that has granted him a 37-year-old's heart, a 28-year-old's skin, and an 18-year-old's fitness and lung capacity. His regimen is overseen by a team of 30 regenerative health experts and doctors.

Pursuit of Youth

Bloomberg reports that Johnson has the goal of reversing the aging process in each major organ of his body. Johnson wants his kidneys, liver, brian, skin, penis, teeth, and rectum to all function as if he were in his late adolescent years. The tests currently indicate success of some sort.

Such an initiative is dubbed "Project Blueprint." According to News.com.au, as part of the project, Johnson is required to strictly abide by a vegan diet with calorie intake specifications of 1,977 calories each day, a daily one-hour exercise routine, high-intensity workouts thrice a week, and clocking out at the exact same time each night.

The tycoon wakes up by 5 a.m. each day, exercises for an hour, consumes twenty-four supplements, takes in green juice filled with collagen peptides and creatine, and flosses and brushes his teeth while cleansing them with antioxidant gel and tea tree oil.

Before he clocks out, Johnson puts on anti-blue-light glasses for around two hours. He also consistently checks his vitals and goes through monthly procedures to maintain his condition. Procedures include MRIs, ultrasounds, blood tests, and colonoscopies.

As he sleeps, Johnson is linked to a machine that monitors his nightly erection count. He also measures his weight, BMI, blood sugar levels, body fat, and heart rate on a daily basis.

Johnson expresses that, though what he has been doing may seem extreme, he is trying to show that decay and self-harm can be prevented.

Internist Jeff Toll, who is part of Johnson's team of experts, expresses experience dealing with celebrities and athletes. However, no one took as many measures as Johnson.

Johnson notes that his interest in pursuing youth was prompted by serious mental and physical downturns prior to selling Braintree. He notes how he used to be depressed, overweight, and almost suicidal.

Physician Oliver Zolman notes how Johnson's goal is to show that humans can decrease an organ's medical age by around 25%. He expresses how there is no one in the world who has the chronological age of 45 but whose organs have the age of 35.
