Bryan Johnson’s quest for immortality is taking over Manhattan this weekend.
The tech millionaire-turned-burgeoning anti-aging cult leader is hosting his Don’t Die Summit at the Javits Center on Saturday.
Dubbed as “The #1 Longevity Event,” the all-day health spectacle allows his followers to “experience longevity on your plate,” as in, dine out on Johnson’s Blueprint diet — a “revolutionary diet” he developed with researchers to “optimize health and promote longevity,” according to the summit’s website.
Summit guests will also have access to over 20 booths exhibiting the latest “cutting edge products and therapies,” all designed to prolong one’s life.
Seven comprehensive biological tests will be accessible to help “discover your true biological age.”
And attendees gain direct access to the man behind it all: Johnson will be on hand to speak on his years of researching how to reverse aging.
“They enjoy the camaraderie of doing it, and others want to be part of the next major ideology, next major movement in the world, and see ‘Don’t Die’ as the path forward,” Johnson told Page Six ahead of Saturday’s event.
More than 1,500 people are attending the sold-out event, with tickets starting at $150 for a half day, $349 for general admission, and $699 for premium access that comes with perks like “reserved seating for stage viewing” and an after-party at NeueHouse.
Growing community
Johnson has gained millions of followers since he made headlines in 2023 as an anti-aging zealot who paid $2 million annually to try to become 18-years-old again. His growing community comes from all walks of life. “US leaders, members of the Supreme Court, celebrities. You name it, and they’ve probably reached out,” he said.
Kim, Khloe and Kris Kardashian have even been guests at one of the dinner parties he hosts at his home, where he prepares his Blueprint meals followed by fireside conversation.
Johnson told The Post that at the dinners, “people learn how to measure their biological age, and then I feed them a very specific food . . . that has been designed by an algorithm.”
(Johnson believes his Blueprint algorithm “takes better care of me than I can myself.”)
And while he won’t comment on any specifics of the conversations he has with guests, he told The Post the Kardashians “are a family that cares a lot about health and wellness.”
“We were able to jam out and . . . Kim, especially is really into health and wellness . . . So, we are able to, you know, nerd out on it. So, its really cool,” he said.
Johnson’s dinner with the reality TV moguls is expected to air on an upcoming episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”
The tech mogul, who walked away with hundreds of millions after selling Braintree Venmo in 2013, is no stranger to the small screen: His 2025 Netflix documentary, “Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever,” still appears as one of the top docs for the streamer since it premiered on Jan. 1.
He told us he’s already working on “Don’t Die 2,” and has a videographer filming his every move, including his visit on Friday to Page Six’s studio.
He quipped, “I feel naked” when the camera’s not rolling.
Needless to say, Johnson has seemingly been hit by the fame bug, telling Page Six, “I love it! I love every minute of it.”
‘Really a nice payoff’
He added that people “always have such amazing things to say” when they stop him on the street. “It’s like, ‘I found your content . . . I started sleeping well, or I learned how to address this thing or that,’ ” he explained.
“It’s really a nice payoff that we are genuinely trying to help people improve their health and wellness, and to see that just in the street is so satisfying,” he said.
The online community, however, isn’t always as nice. Just last month he was met with critics labeling him as “disturbing” and “gross” after he shared screenshots of data from a machine that tracked the overnight erections of him and his son, Talmage, 19, who has adopted a similar lifestyle to his dad.
“I mean, first, why are they also aroused?” he joked, explaining he has a dry sense of humor.
On a more serious note, “Nighttime erections are actually really important to your health, and if you’re not having them, your life is at risk,” he explained.
Additionally, “If a man is not having nightime erections, they’re . . . more likely to die prematurely,” he added.
“It’s funny and it’s like comical and people are unfamiliar with it, and that’s cool… We’re becoming educated and I’m so proud of my son,” he said.
“He’s 19-years-old and he’s willing to, like, basically be transparent with his process… I think it’s cool,” he said.
Johnson told us his son doesn’t get embarrassed by the headlines and, “he’s seen me go through the whole thing, and we think it’s funny,” he said.
Johnson says his strict regimen of 5a.m. wake-ups and 11a.m. dinners, sprinkled in with exercise, juggling three companies as CEO, and being “potentially the healthiest man on earth,” is all worth it.
He has a bigger purpose: “Don’t die,” he says.
He says of his unorthodox practice, “People use the word cult as a derogatory term, and they use religion as a derogatory term… I joke around and I say, ‘My cult is better than your cult because my cult goes to bed on time. We exercise, we eat well. We don’t do these self-destructive behaviors… I really I have found deep purpose in trying to extend beyond myself and get out to everyone else,” he said.
In fact, he believes “Don’t Die” is “the next major ideology. It’s a political system. It’s economic. It’s moral. It’s ethical, social. It’s religious. And so, I think that really, to me, that is the direction that we are headed as a species. I think we are at the right place, right time, right thing,” he said.
