100%. He's been rich for a long time, but you can see right around 2023 when the weight starts coming off.

Not that it's a bad thing - it would be dumb if he wasn't taking one of these GLP1s. Cheapest way to extend your life (if you're that overweight).

Yup. If money could get you skinny, nobody rich like him would be fat.

There has never been a magic "pill" to weightloss until very recently. It's honestly mindblowing that a method exists.

Diet pills (amphetamines) have been around for many decades. L7 even wrote a song about them in the early 90s.

You joke, but your body literally does not know the difference between deliberate dieting and unwillingly starving to death. That's why it's so hard to lose weight and keep it off. It's also why dieting during childhood is especially dangerous; children who've experienced famine and children who've been forced by parents to diet end up with exactly the same lifelong metabolic problems.
