Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Eric Schmidt, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have all attended.

Last year, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made quite an entrance.

Zuckerberg took a helicopter in to Burning Man for one day to help fry up some grilled cheese sandwiches. The grand entrance was initially reported by The Verge and confirmed by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz.

Moskovitz says Zuckerberg even pitched his own tent. He writes on Medium:
