What was on your plate this morning?

An egg? Maybe two? Scrambled, fried or poached? Or are you more of a muesli person, who likes a bit of yoghurt and honey added to the mix?

Depending on the day, I eat anything from cereal to a protein shake, but those who have a bit more responsibility in their lives tend to stick a routine, so to speak, and that includes daily breakfast rituals.

So Business Insider asked, what do the most successful people in the world have for breakfast? From Trump to Musk, here’s what they found:

Richard Branson

Virgin Group founder Richard Branson prefers to dig into fruit salad and muesli in the morning while spending time with his family.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump isn’t big on breakfast. According to the Chicago Tribune, he’ll once and a while eat bacon and eggs. He told Fox News he liked cornflakes “right out of the fields of Iowa” before the 2016 presidential primary debate in Iowa. And his former bodyguard Keith Schiller said he would also occasionally pick him up an Egg McMuffin.

Jeff Bezos

In a recent interview with his brother Mark, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said he used to eat an entire tube of Pillsbury biscuits for breakfast. He said he kicked the habit when his wife MacKenzie urged him to check out the ingredients — but he still keeps up the tradition of not scheduling any morning meetings in order to relax with his family.

Elon Musk

Breakfast usually isn’t on the menu for Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. When he does manage to squeeze in a morning meal, it’s typically an omelet and coffee.

Vlad Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin usually tucks into a large omelet or a big bowl of porridge with some quail eggs and fruit juice on the side around noon. Newsweek reports that the ingredients are “dispatched regularly from the farmland estates of the Patriarch Kirill, Russia’s religious leader.” Once he’s finished his meal, he drinks coffee.

Thank the high heavens Cafe du Cap serves breakfast all day, so we can swing past and sort ourselves out whenever the craving arises.
