New Billionaire Joins the Quest for Eternal Youth

A new member has joined the exclusive billionaire club that bets on rejuvenation and eternal youth with the innovative project known as “Blueprint”.
Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, despite recently turning 80, has managed to maintain the appearance of someone in their thirties.

Bryan Johnson, the CEO who famously injects his son’s blood to appear 18 years old, welcomed Ellison into this universe of eternal youth with a message praising him for the “superb work in managing biological aging” that the Oracle founder has developed, all in the pursuit of a youthful look.

Apart from his impressive net worth of $206 billion, Ellison has also attracted attention for his youthful vigor.

The Tale of the Billionaire Chasing Youth

At 47, Johnson spends $2 million yearly on his anti-aging efforts and now faces competition from Ellison in the chase for youthfulness.
The battle against the inevitable and universal experience of aging has been a long-standing project for Ellison, according to a recent Fortune publication.
Like Johnson, the Oracle founder has donated over $350 million to research on aging and age-related diseases.

As the world’s second richest person, Ellison practices a healthy lifestyle, consuming carrot juice and working out at the gym for hours daily.
Gina Smith, co-founder and editor at aNewDomain, noted that during their collaboration in the 90s and 2000s, Ellison primarily drank green tea and water, consuming mostly fish, vegetables, and fruits.

The loss has profoundly impacted Ellison’s life.
His biological mother abandoned him during childhood while his adoptive mother passed away from cancer during his college years.
“Death never made sense to me.
How can a person be there and then simply disappear?” To find answers, he invests in aging research and continues his personal quest for youth.

The Billionaires’ Desire for Immortality

The pursuit of eternal youth is burgeoning among billionaires.
Joining Bryan Johnson and Larry Ellison are other CEOs like Liz Parrish, CEO of BioViva, famously known for skipping her birthday.
Through gene therapy, she reportedly has a chronological age of 52 but a biological age of 21.
Another notable figure is Dave Pascoe, who appears to be 30, despite being 60.

Defeating advancing age has become a fascinating goal for individuals like Google co-founder Larry Page, who established Calico Labs, a well-funded aging research center.
Likewise, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos created Altos Labs with billionaire Yuri Milner and recruited various academics to explore cellular aging reversal.
Former PayPal CEO Peter Thiel regularly takes human growth hormone pills and plans to be cryogenically frozen posthumously.

In conclusion, the chase for eternal youth through blood transfusions and hormonal therapies demands substantial financial resources.
Some argue that if successful, it could widen the gap between the rich and the poor.
“The longer you live, the more your wealth compounds,” remarked Christopher Wareham, a bioethicist at Utrecht University.
“And the wealthier you are, the greater your political influence.” Is this the medical innovation the world truly needs?
