Facebook CEO
Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview on "NBC's Today" set to air
Thursday that he lives a "simple" life and proudly wears the same
thing every day.
Zuckerberg — who has appeared on
GQ and Esquire's worst-dressed
list in 2011 —
confessed in an interview taped last week with "Today" host Matt
Lauer that he owns "maybe about 20″ identical gray t-shirts.
"I mean, I wear the same
thing every day, right? I mean, it's literally, if you could see my closet at
home..." Zuckerberg said. "My wife has a bunch of stuff. Although she
has her drawer — primarily scrubs for the hospital — I get one drawer. And my
drawer is about 20 of these gray t-shirts."
He said he has one drawer,
"like men everywhere."
Other notables known to wear the
same thing every day? Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein.
He says he feels "a lot of
responsibility" for his employees, who feel comfortable calling him by his
first name: "No one calls me 'Mr. Zuckerberg.' I mean, it's — we do a lot
to create this open culture."
Although Apple CEO Tim Cook sent
Zuckerberg a free iPhone 5 after the launch, the Facebook executive said he
uses many different devices.
"iPhone is a great
platform," he told Lauer. "There are more people who use Facebook on
Android because Android is just ... More people use it, at this point. So it's
actually a pretty diverse ecosystem. And we spend our time building for all
these different things."
