Much like everything else associated with Mark Zuckerberg, his real estate portfolio seems to have grown exponentially over the years. The Facebook (now known as Meta) founder currently owns 10 homes situated all throughout California—including San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Lake Tahoe—plus several holdings on Kauai, Hawaii. Each property is far more elaborate than even your standard celebrity fare. In classic Zuckerberg fashion, every house is massive, considerably upgraded, and oftentimes saddled with complaints from the general public. Furthermore, Zuckerberg has been known to buy up neighboring homes to make sure that he and his family have the utmost privacy. Take a peek into all the places the Zuck, his wife Priscilla Chan, and their two young children now call home.

About a year before he and Chan said “I do,” Zuckerberg set down roots in Palo Alto with the purchase of a 5,617-square-foot home just a short 10-minute drive from Facebook’s Menlo Park campus. The tech maven reportedly paid $7 million for the five-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion, and then paid a pretty penny to have it outfitted with some nifty technological upgrades, including a “custom-made artificially intelligent assistant” called Jarvis, according to CNBC. (Among its tasks: helping Zuckerberg’s daughter with her Mandarin lessons, identifying visitors at the door, and supplying clean gray T-shirts from a rigged-up “T-shirt cannon.”) Other features of the home include a saltwater pool, a glass-enclosed sunroom, and a huge backyard pavilion.

The following year, the couple began buying up the four homes surrounding their original Palo Alto house. In all, they reportedly spent an estimated $43 million on those properties. The Wall Street Journal reported that the couple leased the homes back to their former owners, with plans to eventually demolish all four to build something new in 2016. The city voted against Zuckerberg’s plans, however, so he had to settle for just renovating two of the four homes in order to create a compound situated on a lot measuring 1.83 acres.
In late 2012, the Facebook founder spent $10 million on a pied-à-terre town house in the Dolores Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, reportedly shelling out an additional $1.8 million to renovate the brick and stucco home. SF Gate reported that renovations included the addition of a first-floor office, a media room, a laundry room, a wine room, and a wet bar. Reportedly, there was also a $65,000 bathroom and kitchen remodel and the addition of a greenhouse on the premises. Not much else is known about the property, except that it presently measures 7,368 square feet.
