Mark Zuckerberg buys $23 million house in Washington with cash

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has just acquired a new property: a $23 million house in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.

The information was reported by Politico magazine and confirmed by a Meta spokesperson. “Mark and Priscilla bought a house in D.C., which will allow Mark to spend more time there as Meta continues to work on policy issues related to American tech leadership.”

The mansion, over 11,000 square feet, was purchased by Zuckerberg with cash. The property includes multiple rooms, a private garden, and reinforced security.

According to Politico, real estate agents had to sign confidentiality agreements during the sale process. If you search the address on Google Maps, you’ll notice the house images are pixelated.

Experts suggest that the Meta CEO — who owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp — aims to be closer to President Donald Trump. Located in the Woodland Normanstone neighborhood, the house is about a 12-minute drive from the White House.

“It’s the ultimate gesture of deference to the man in the White House. It’s an easy way of saying, ‘Hey, we’re with you. We’re here,’” said Tom Daley, a real estate expert in the capital, to Politico.
