  According to Bloomberg, the clear front-runner in the race against the hourglass is biotech C.E.O. Bryan Johnson, who, at 45, spends $2 million a year on attempts to stay young. He has allegedly erased years off of his body’s biological age.

  FWIW most of that money is spent on lab equipment, much of which he owns now. A lot of it is also spent on getting statistical data and having doctors and scientists review it. He said he actually spends between $10K and $20K on the actual process of being younger. Watched several of his long form podcast interviews. His interview on Bill Maher is decent. [1]

  Truth be told I am loving my multi-decade mid-life crisis. I feel great. Ignore the haters and skeptics.
