The former Amazon CEO seems to have a slightly more relaxed start to his day and said he likes to “putter in the morning,” Axios reported in 2018.
“So I like to read the newspaper,” he said. “I like to have coffee. I like have breakfast with my kids before they go to school.”
He and his fiancé, Lauren Sánchez, have a no-phone rule during the mornings and share a “magic moment” before the kids wake up, Sánchez told People.
The two also try to journal together, she said in 2023 interview with Vogue, though admits that they’re “not quite there” yet and do it three times a week. They also enjoy coffee together, with Bezos drinking his morning brew in a self-heating Ember mug.
The billionaire then likes to get in some gym time almost every day. On a good day, Bezos said in a Lex Fridman podcast that he does 30 minutes of cardio and 45 minutes of weightlifting or some kind of resistance training.
“I have a trainer who you know I love who pushes me,” Bezos said in the podcast. “Which is really helpful.”
Bezos then sets his first meeting at 10 a.m. and said he likes to do his “high-IQ meetings” before noon, according to Axios.
“Like anything that’s going to be really mentally challenging, that’s a 10 o’clock meeting,” he said. “And by 5 p.m., I’m like, ‘I can’t think about that today. Let’s try this again tomorrow at 10 a.m.'”
