Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview on NBC's Today set to air on Thursday that he lives a "simple" life and proudly wears the same thing every day.
Zuckerberg — who has appeared on GQ and Esquire's worst-dressed list in 2011 — confessed in an interview taped last week with Today host Matt Lauer that he owns "maybe about 20? identical grey t-shirts.
"I mean, I wear the same thing every day, right? I mean, it's literally, if you could see my closet at home…," Zuckerberg said. "My wife has a bunch of stuff. Although she has her drawer — primarily scrubs for the hospital — I get one drawer. And my drawer is about 20 of these gray t-shirts."
He said he has one drawer "like men everywhere."
Other notables known to wear the same thing every day? Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein.
Although Zuckerberg gave his first post-IPO interview at a tech conference earlier this month, this will be his first interview with the mainstream press since Facebook went public in May. According to NBC, the interview also includes Zuckerberg opening up about future plans for the social network, employee morale and his recent wedding. He says he feels "a lot of responsibility" for his employees, who feel comfortable calling him by his first name: "No one calls me 'Mr. Zuckerberg.' I mean, it's — we do a lot to create this open culture."
Although Apple CEO Tim Cook sent Zuckerberg a free iPhone 5 after the launch, the Facebook executive said he uses many different devices.
"iPhone is a great platform," he told Lauer. "There are more people who use Facebook on Android because Android is just… more people use it, at this point. So it's actually a pretty diverse ecosystem. And we spend our time building for all these different things."

Bonus: The Evolution of the Facebook Profile
Back in the days when The Facebook was only available to select networks, the News Feed didn't exist. Users hopped between profiles like this one.
With the September 2006 launch of Facebook's News Feed, user profiles contained mini-feeds that displayed user activity.
While not a huge year for profile redesign, users began to interact more with each other's profiles -- remember Facebook Gifts?
Users were able to add application tabs to their profiles (e.g. Bumper Stickers). Facebook also introduced the Publisher tool bar, which allowed a user to publish a status update, photo or link to his profile.
A new kind of user profile, Pages launched in 2009. Users could "become a fan" of a Page (until 2010, when they could "like" a page) to see that individual's or business' updates in their news feed.
Late in 2010, Facebook launched a new profile that, up until this week, remained pretty much unaltered. Users took advantage by getting creative with the new photo banner at the top of the page. Also, Facebook told you what friends/fans you had in common in the upper right-hand corner of each page.
As of Sept. 20, Facebook's new ticker has the ability to follow a user around to every page, including profiles. The company also introduced a "View As" widget in the upper right-hand corner that allows a user to preview how others see her page.
Announced Thursday at Facebook's f8 conference, the new profile will act like a virtual scrapbook, featuring important milestones that have occurred since your time on Facebook. Compared to the evolution of the social network's profile thus far, this redesign appears the most significant.
