8 Celebs With Surprising Foursquare Mayorships
The Woz is a fan of food, and his extensive roster of mayorships at some of America's finest chain eateries is a testament to his commitment. In addition to a freshly-minted Cinnabon Mayorship, theApple genius holds the top spot at a Baskin-Robbins, a Subway, The Hard Rock Cafe at Lake Tahoe, and an IHOP. He even offers the occasional tip. At one of his other mayoral haunts, the Outback Steakhouse, he suggests users "scrape breading off bloomin' onion for low carb diets."
Tech columnist, Nick Bilton loves to check in at the homes of his various friends. In addition to popping in on them, Bilton diligently checks in to his favorite bars, and keeps a well curated list of the best Bloody Marys in NYC on his saved lists. But it's not all fun and games for Bilton. Believe it or not, he's actually the mayor of the rainforest in Ecuador. Yes, the entire Ecuadorian rainforest. Nick Bilton: environmentalist, good friend, and smart drinker.
Everyone's favorite Crocs-clad Italian chef is one of the biggest personalities on Foursquare. Sure, his check-ins include some amazing quality restaurants, but ten out of his fourteen mayorships actually center on the coastal town of Northport, Mich. The chef, who goes there to get some rest and relaxation, has checked in at local spots like the farmers' market. Cute, right?
Is anyone shocked that the fanciest check-ins come from one of the biggest names in venture capitalism? Union Square Ventures principal Fred Wilson is a Foursquare super user. A portion of his mayorships come from the East Hampton hamlet Amagansett, which has been home to stars such as Paul McCartney and Sarah Jessica Parker. Among Wilson's notable NYC hotspots is Maison Martin Margiela, a high-end clothier in the wealthy Greenwich neighborhood. Want to live like a VC? Check out his curated lists, which focus on some fabulous spots in Paris, Amsterdam, and Copenhagen.
The keeper of New York City has a critical top spot. Yes, Bloomberg's only mayorship is at New York City Hall, where he has completed a whopping forty six check-ins in the last sixty days. Otherwise, the mayor checks in to places where he performs his governmental duties, such as a ribbon cutting or a visit to the Twitter office, where he advised, "Make sure you have an @twitter account before stopping by here." Good idea, Bloomberg!
Brooklyn-born Kerpen, who is the CEO and co-founder of Likeable Media, holds the most mayorships on this list at an astounding twenty five. He also holds the overwhelming majority of his top spots on New York soil. That’s because Kerpen often checks in at his childhood home, his current residence, and his Hamptons vacation spot. He's also a frequent visitor to the Mets home stadium, Citi Field. Although, we’re sad to report that he’s not the mayor there. But don’t worry about him. We’re sure he can seek consolation at Mr. Met's Dugout Shop near the field's Flushing location, where he is currently mayor.
Industry analyst Solis is mayor of some of the trendiest locales in Silicon Valley in addition to his company headquarters at the Altimeter Group. But his drool-worthy mayorships also cross into international waters. His mayoral list sports locations from three different countries, including a fabulous chartered yacht in the south of France.
Tech luminary Scoble is an evangelist and a Foursquare super user with more than 2,500 check-ins. Still, his mayorships indicate that his main base of operations is in his hometown of Half Moon Bay, where he’s checked in at the Ritz Carlton at least eight times in the last sixty days. It's a place where he does a lot of business with Silicon Valley greats who are interested in coming to meet him.
The co-founder of Foursquare maintains an impressive record. He sports 133 different badges on his profile and is followed by more than 9,000 users. He's divulged 201 tips and carefully advised seventeen lists, but there's something drastically missing from his profile: a mayorship. Yes, the co-founder of Foursquare doesn't have a single mayorship to his name. Zero. None. Instead, Crowley opts for diversity rather than specialization, a technique that has earned him some of the rarest badges the company offers.
