Where is Mark Zuckerberg?

Before purchasing the $23 million mansion in Washington, the CEO of Meta owned several expensive properties, even though he had lived with his parents during his younger years.

From humble beginnings . In the early 1980s, Mark Zuckerberg's parents bought a 110-square-meter house in Dobbs Ferry, a small village in Westchester County (New York State), about 30 minutes from Manhattan. Edward Zuckerberg, Mark's father, ran a dental practice at home. Living and running a business from home inspired Mark to pursue his passion for technology. As a teenager, Mark developed "Zucknet," a system that helped his father communicate between clinics. Real estate records show the house was sold in 2019. Currently, it remains the practice of another dentist. Photo: New York Times .

University dorm . While a student at Harvard University, Zuckerberg lived in room H33 of Kirkland House. This is where Facebook was born, also nicknamed "Zuckerberg's apartment," and was mentioned in the film The Social Network (2010). In 2017, Zuckerberg returned to visit his old residence. The room hadn't changed much, except for the addition of a poster for the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off . In his youth, Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard to focus on building Facebook.

The Smart Home . In 2016, Zuckerberg shared a video of the interior of his log cabin in Palo Alto. The Facebook CEO called it a "smart home" because it integrated an AI assistant named Jarvis, voiced by actor Morgan Freeman. Not only does the assistant remind him of daily meetings, but it also teaches Mandarin to Zuckerberg's children and controls the laundry and toaster appliances. The house was purchased in 2011 for $7 million . He also bought four neighboring houses for a total of approximately $43 million . Photo: Meta .

Lake Tahoe . Between 2018 and 2019, Zuckerberg spent $59 million buying two 4-hectare plots of land on the west shore of Lake Tahoe. This area has also attracted many other tech billionaires, including Larry Ellison. In 2024, there were rumors that Zuckerberg had demolished one of the plots to build a new complex of seven buildings. Photo: Tahoe Luxury Properties .

During the pandemic, the Facebook CEO discovered his preference for working from home. “I find that working remotely provides space for long-term thinking and more time with family, which makes me happier and more productive,” he stated in a memo to employees. (Image: Google Earth )

A bomb shelter in Hawaii . Since 2014, Zuckerberg has purchased approximately 566 hectares of land on Kauai Island in the Hawaiian archipelago. Construction activities have created conflict with local residents. When the investigation was published in 2023, many speculated that this was the site of a doomsday bomb shelter. In an interview with Bloomberg , the CEO of Meta acknowledged the existence of the shelter, but stated it was merely a "storage floor" and "storm shelter." Zuckerberg also uses the land for livestock farming, aiming to "produce the world's best quality beef." Photo: New York Times .

A mansion near the White House . Zuckerberg's newest home, worth $23 million , is about a 10-minute drive from the White House. Located in Woodland Normanstone, an affluent neighborhood in northwest Washington, the property comprises three villas connected by an elevated glass walkway. Designed by architect Robert Gurney, the house has a modern exterior while retaining some traditional features such as red brick and pointed roofs. Security is also ensured with a 3.6-meter-high iron fence and a large gate surrounding the parking area. Photo: New York Times .

According to Politico , this is the third most expensive home sale in Washington history. Immediately after the deal was finalized in early March, images of the house were blurred on Google Maps. (Photo: New York Times )
