The mogul has been vegan for many years, saying that a desire to not hurt animals spurred the decision.

“Well, it started with my yoga practice and you know, the practice of non-harming, ‘ahimsa,'” he said in 2015. “So I became a vegan because [of] compassion [for] the animals.”

He added, “The vegan diet was being discussed around me all the time, so finally, I just made the choice.”
