Netflix recently dropped a documentary called Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever about Bryan Johnson—the controversial millionaire using his wealth to fight aging. He was once labeled “The Kardashian of Longevity.” Interestingly, Bryan had a bizarre “Don’t Die” dinner with the Kardashians in 2024.

Present at the dinner were Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and their mother, Kris Jenner. Fans thought it was a random gathering. But when you look at this reality TV family’s obsession with looking young and their influence on body trends, it’s really not that far from Bryan’s multimillion-dollar project. Here’s what we’ve discovered about their intriguing “Don’t Die” dinner.

Bryan Johnson Can’t Discuss The Details Of His “Don’t Die” Dinner With Kim Kardashian

Bryan Johnson’s “Don’t Die” Dinner With The Kardashians “Organically” Happened

In June 2024, Bryan hosted one of his biweekly “Don’t Die” dinners with Kim, Khloé, Kris, plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond, and podcast host Andrew Huberman. Fans were confused about the guest list, but the anti-aging influencer explained to Fortune that it was all “organic.”

Unfortunately, he’s sworn to secrecy when it comes to what was talked about during dinner. But he revealed that he starts the event with two questions:

• “I say, if you had access to an algorithm that can give you the best physical, mental, and spiritual health of your life, but in exchange for access to the algorithm, you would have to go to bed when it said, and you would exercise in the way it said, would you say yes or would you say no?”
• “The next question invites introspection and contemplation of who we are in this moment.”

Some fans thought the dinner was an investors’ meeting. Kim—who was recently removed from her co-founded private equity firm, SKKY—might have attracted Bryan’s team after she promoted Prenuvo’s $2500 full-body MRI scan on Instagram in 2023. Kim’s “#NotAd” concerned a lot of medical experts, which has been the same response to Bryan’s “Don’t Die” research.

Bryan became popular on social media after documenting his years-long biohacking journey, where he spends $2 million a year. He’s also exchanged plasma with his 18-year-old son, Talmage, for his scandalous wellness project. And that’s not the only disturbing part of his rigorous health routine.

In Netflix’s Don’t Die, Bryan revealed some shocking details about his polarizing lifestyle:

• Bryan only ages 8 months out of the 12 months he lives; he has a 0.69 “speed of aging”
• Bryan grew up Mormon but later left the “torturous” religion, which ended his marriage and estranged him from his two other children
• Bryan takes rapamycin, an experimental anti-aging drug that has only been tested on mice
• Bryan’s ex-fiancée sued him for leaving her after she was diagnosed with breast cancer

In a 2023 profile for Time, Bryan claimed he was working on “the most significant revolution in the history of Homo sapiens.” In the piece, the magazine observed that he “seemed to suggest that for humans to survive in an AI-aligned future, they may need to sacrifice part of what makes them human in the first place.”

Bryan Johnson Has Been Deemed “The Kardashian Of Longevity”

Experts Are Divided About Bryan Johnson Like Hollywood Is To Kim Kardashian

Bryan has been slammed for “playing doctor” with his “Don’t Die” project. He once blocked longevity scientist, Dr. Andrew Steele on Twitter after his criticism of the multimillionaire’s project.

“You just can’t exercise your way to living to 100, let alone to the world-record-breaking 122 or something like that,” said the expert and author of

In February 2024, Forbes named Bryan “The Kardashian of Longevity.” The magazine explained that “the emergence of Bryan Johnson created a new faction in the longevity activist stakeholder group—the Longevity Celebrities, who are famous for being famous.”

Forbes also noted that like the Kardashians, and many influencers, Bryan used his age-defying notoriety to start promoting products, like “Blueprint-branded olive oil, ‘fruit & nut’ packs, and other food items, and creating a franchise.”

The Kardashians have been slammed for promoting “misleading” weight-loss and beauty products with Photoshopped images of their physiques. But unlike them, Bryan may be making a serious difference in his field.

“It will give rise to futures unfathomable to our current minds,” he added in defense of his “Don’t Die” studies. “Unable to predict what may come but curious to find out, I’m left knowing one thing: don’t die.” Forbes also acknowledged Bryan’s “substantial contribution to the longevity movement around the world.”
