Billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel says he's gonna live to 120 years old and is on track to make that happen.

From Bloomberg:

The 47-year-old investor, who co-founded PayPal and made an early bet on Facebook Inc, said he's taking human growth hormone every day in a wide-ranging interview with Bloomberg Television's Emily Chang.

"It helps maintain muscle mass, so you're much less likely to get bone injuries, arthritis," Thiel said in an interview in August. "There's always a worry that it increases your cancer risk but -- I'm hopeful that we'll get cancer cured in the next decade." Thiel said he also follows a Paleo diet, doesn't eat sugar, drinks red wine and runs regularly.

I was about to say that we'll have to wait and see if it works, but we'll all probably be long dead by the time this guy croaks. Good luck, Moneybags!
