Episode notes
Longevity As A Luxury Service
- Bryan Johnson offers an exclusive $1M/year longevity program called Immortals with AI, concierge care, and continuous biomonitoring.
- The program highlights how longevity has become a luxury service for the ultra-wealthy rather than a mass health solution.
Comparing High-End Longevity Programs
- The episode notes other high-priced longevity offerings like Biograph and Fountain Life with annual fees from $15,000 to $21,500.
- Johnson's $1M tier sits far above these, with a $60,000 vague supported tier also available.
