A self-made millionaire has revealed he spends a staggering £34,000 ($44,200) a month on wellness rituals to "stay ahead of the game".
This includes "neurofeedback" therapy, a variety of supplements and regular blood tests. Luke Lintz is known for his controversial views on achieving success. The mogul, who runs PR firm HighKey, is now focusing on maintaining optimal health and wellness in order to live beyond 100 years old. While staying fit isn't cheap, Luke believes "you can't put a price on living forever and being young and sexy".
The entrepreneur, who regularly gets IV drips and only consumes organic food, is also open to more controversial treatments.
These include freezing his cells for transfer and exchanging blood plasma with someone younger.
"People might call it crazy to spend this level of cash on extreme treatments but that's because they don't have the bank balance I do," said Luke, who has a million followers on Instagram (@lukelintz).
He added: "It doesn't matter how much I spend, because I'm rich, so why not? I want to be 90 years old and still be able to go skiing with my grandkids.
"I'm investing in my health so that when I do reach my 50s or 60s, I can still be at peak level. I used to wake up every single morning with my heart palpitating. My attitude toward work created stress in my life, to the point where I realised I couldn't keep going the same way.
"I was very close to complete burnout. My attitude toward work created stress in my life, to the point where I realised I couldn't keep going the same way. I'd work until my eyes were dry and destroyed from sitting in front of my computer all day.
"I've recently cut my working hours down from 15 to just eight hours per day."
Luke shells out roughly £23k ($30k) per year on blood panels, sitting down with doctors after each session to analyse the results.
From there, they'll monitor any changes in his body and prescribe a set of daily supplements for him to take.
He also spends each afternoon hooked up to his computer via a headband for neurofeedback therapy, gets NAD IV therapy (an IV drip) and uses NAD nasal spray to boost cellular energy production.
This involves Luke looking at his screen and the brightness being adjusted to increase focused attention. The CEO admits the monthly cost for his wellness routine is "ridiculous" but says the "results are worth it".
The entrepreneur, who used to live payslip-to-payslip, now wakes up whenever he pleases, never setting an alarm.
He starts his day with fresh-pressed celery juice, special probiotics and an organic collagen protein shake costing $40 per day before going on a walk around his neighbourhood barefoot to ground himself and connect with nature.
The 25 year old's monthly food bill comes to £3.9k ($5k) and he only eats organic ingredients such as grass-fed meat purchased at a farmer's market. Luke also spends a fortune on his gym membership, sauna sessions and BTL treatments (non-invasive procedure to tighten skin and reduce fat).
He said: "Life is a marathon, not a sprint. My attitude toward work created stress in my life, to the point where I realized I couldn't keep going the same way. My full potential is now defined by not how much I've got in the bank, but my ability to not take life too seriously. And to thrive in health, not merely by living to survive.
"What's better than generational wealth is generational habits instilling habits to your children on how to live a long, healthy, fulfilling life.
"I would consider any and all treatments, such as gene therapy, freezing my cells to transfer at a later date, or exchanging my blood plasma with someone younger to stay as healthy as I am now.
"But only after they've been properly tested with many clinical trials. I want people to question my age when they see me with my grandchildren not struggling to keep up."
