Thoughts on CEOs that take part in “risky” activities with potential for serious injury, such as Mark Zuckerberg and jiu-jitsu?


I'm catching up on reports that Mark Zuckerberg supposedly got “knocked out” (or maybe just grunted really hard?) in a jiu-jitsu match (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/02/style/mark-zuckerberg-workout.html).

I'm interested in what people think about CEOs doing things like this, especially for companies whose public image have become entwined with the CEO, such as Meta, Tesla, etc.

To be clear, I'm not trying to say whether or not CEOs should be partaking in these risky activities. They're human, they want to do enjoyable things, nothing inherently wrong with that.

Just interested to see if this is something people consider when investing in companies that have become a cult of personality around a specific person.
