Millionaire Known for Extreme Anti-Aging Measures Genuinely Believes He’s Not Going to Die

Bryan Johnson, the millionaire venture capitalist known for his quest to fight off aging through extreme measures, does not think he’s going to die.

Johnson, 47, earned viral fame in 2021 when he announced Project Blueprint, a rigorous experiment to attempt to slow the rate at which his body ages. His anti-aging efforts include regular plasma transfusions from his teenage son, strict diet, exercise, sleep, and an extensive list of daily supplements. He reportedly spends $2 million annually on this quest to prevent aging.

According to test results, Johnson’s physical fitness is equal to that of an 18-year-old and the heart of a 37-year-old. Those supposed results have been met with intense scrutiny and skepticism from the scientific community.

On a recent episode of the podcast Honestly with Bari Weiss, Weiss bluntly asked Johnson if he believed he was going to die. Without hesitation, he responded, “No.”

“You think you’re going to live forever?” Weiss asked.

“Forever’s not a concept the human mind can contemplate,” Johnson said. “But will we be able to radically expand life beyond preconceived imaginations? Yes. Will it happen before my natural limit right now, which is — my life expectancy’s probably like 80, 90, something like that, if I maintain my health; but the technology’s moving so quickly that it will — the species is going to either survive or die in this moment much sooner than my life expectancy would turn up.”
