Bryan Johnson net worth 2025: Inside the fortune of the anti-aging tech millionaire
Bryan Johnson discusses brain-computer technology, age reversal, and Bryan AI as part of his goal to outlive biology. If you've been anywhere near the world of tech, wellness, or longevity trends in the past year, chances are you've heard of Bryan Johnson. No, he's not a Hollywood actor or a pop star, but his name carries some serious buzz. Why? Because this former tech entrepreneur has made it his life's mission to reverse aging. And he's putting his money where his mitochondria are. So just how much is Bryan Johnson worth in 2025? And what exactly is he doing with his millions? Who is Bryan Johnson? Before he became the poster child for age reversal, Johnson made his fortune in fintech. In 2013, he sold his company Braintree, which had acquired the now-ubiquitous Venmo, to PayPal for a cool $800 million. That single deal gave him the kind of financial freedom most people only dream about. But instead of retiring to a beach in the Maldives, Johnson decided to go full cyborg and challenge human biology itself. Now in his mid-40s, Johnson isn't interested in slowing down. In fact, he's doing the opposite, he's trying to turn back the biological clock. What's Bryan Johnson's net worth in 2025? As of mid-2025, Bryan Johnson's net worth is estimated to be around $400 million to $500 million. That's down from the nearly $800 million peak he hit after the Braintree deal, but it's by no means a fall from grace. In fact, much of that decline is intentional—he's spending millions annually on his passion project: Project Blueprint. He's been pretty transparent about his finances and his radical wellness routine. Johnson has said he spends $2 million per year on his health, tracking everything from his liver enzymes to his erections (yes, really). With a team of 30+ doctors and specialists, he's essentially turned himself into a full-time lab experiment with one goal: stop aging. Johnson's Blueprint includes everything from daily MRIs, vegan meals weighed to the gram, and sleep monitoring, to bizarre experiments like plasma transfusions from his teenage son (a move that made headlines—and raised eyebrows). He's invested heavily in anti-aging research, building out a company called Kernel, which focuses on brain-machine interfaces and cognitive enhancement. He's also pouring money into startups and science-driven platforms that align with his 'future of humanity' vision. It's not just about the cash—though there's plenty of it. It's also about the cultural moment Bryan Johnson has tapped into. In an era where longevity science, biohacking, and performance tracking are trending hard, Johnson has become a lightning rod. Some call him a pioneer, others call him eccentric. Either way, he's getting results: his biological age (as measured by various markers) is said to be nearly 10 years younger than his actual age. Bryan Johnson isn't your typical millionaire. He's not buying islands or launching space rockets. He's investing in himself—literally—and trying to become the 'most optimized human' on Earth. While critics question whether all the data, testing, and green mush smoothies are worth it, Johnson seems undeterred.

Who Is Bryan Johnson? Tech Tycoon Spending Rs 16.5 Cr A Year On Anti-Aging Shuts Down Startup
Last Updated: Bryan Johnson is shutting down his anti-aging startup Blueprint due to financial losses. Despite spending $2M annually, it failed to attract customers. The thought of eternal life has always remained a matter of curiosity for humanity since ages. Philosophers have debated the ethics and values of being immortal, while scientists from the Renaissance to modern ages have explored and experimented to find an elixir of immortality, though tantalizing it might seem. Not much success was found on the topic. Meanwhile, when tech entrepreneurs take over the reins of innovation and experimentation, the sci-fi thought of age-reversing has spawned among some of them. What has been thought to be a figment of fiction and imagination could be seen as a possibility if the right amount of capital and research is invested religiously. One of such entrepreneurs Bryan Johnson has put all sweat and blood to make age-reversing a possibility in the 21st century. But his efforts all went into vain when he decided to shut down his startup. The reason of the shut down is the financial losses piling up. In a recent interview with Wired, 47-year-old tech entrepreneur and wellness enthusiast Bryan Johnson revealed he is 'so close" to shutting down or selling Blueprint, his much-publicized anti-aging startup. The company, which aimed to drastically slow down or even reverse aging, has made headlines for Johnson's extreme and often controversial longevity experiments. Bryan Johnson is an American entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author known for founding Braintree, a payment processing company that acquired Venmo in 2012 for $26.2 million and was later sold to PayPal for $800 million in 2013, with Johnson reportedly earning over $300 million from the sale. He also founded Kernel, a neurotech company developing brain-monitoring devices, and OS Fund, a venture capital firm investing in science and technology startups. Johnson has gained significant media attention for his anti-aging initiative, 'Project Blueprint," where he spends approximately $2 million annually on a regimen involving a vegan diet, over 100 daily supplements, rigorous exercise, and experimental treatments like follistatin gene therapy (not FDA-approved) to reduce his biological age. However, his dream-project fails to lure the customers and financiers as financial losses on the startup have mounted in recent times, leading to the decision to close it. The small it might seem, there is a small spark to kindle the full fire in the future. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
