You should know a lot for visionary ideas, groundbreaking technologies or their wealth: the elite of the tech industry. In addition to her words, maybe the favorite songs from Sam also reveal Altman, Adam Mosseri or Sam Bankman-Fried.
Under the name “Panama Playlists” – an allusion to the “Panama Papers” – someone has published the favorite songs of numerous celebrities on the net. Among them are politicians, journalists and so -called VIPs. Apparently it was not that difficult because many users use their real names on platforms such as Spotify. The list not only reveals which songs were played, but also how often and when.
From rap to cuddly skirt: the favorite songs of the tech bosses
For months, the playlists were observed by an anonymous whistleblower, who has now shared his investigative research with the public. At this point we are particularly interested in the tech bosses. Her favorite songs sometimes throw a whole new light on the (in this case exclusively) men who otherwise look so cool, intelligent and clarified.
In addition to some classics and modern catchy tunes, there are also unusual songs in the playlists of the CEOs and company founders. Metas Ai expert Yann Lecun, for example, hears jazz and Brazilian classics. Figma CEO Dylan Field changes wildly between “Wannabe” from the Spice Girls and “The Real Slim Shady” from Eminem. And Shaun Maguire from Sequoia is on “Windowlicker” by Aphex Twin and “Firefly” by Mura Masa and Nao.
The authenticity of some lists has already been confirmed by their respective owners. Of course, the question arises as to what it looks like with data protection. All songs found are available on the page Panama Playlists. Here you will not only find the entries of the tech elite, but also that other celebrities like JD Vance, who apparently likes to hear the backstreet boys. However, we concentrate on ten of the most famous heads of the tech industry, whose auditory preferences we disclose in the gallery.

As a tech industry expert, I find it interesting to see what songs the tech bosses are listening to. Music can often provide insight into a person’s personality, mood, and mindset, so it’s no surprise that these influential figures have their own favorite tunes. It’s also a reminder that even the most high-powered individuals in the industry have their own personal interests and preferences outside of work. Ultimately, music is a universal language that can bring people together, regardless of their background or profession. It’s always fascinating to see how music can shape and influence even the most successful and innovative leaders in the tech world.
