Zuckerberg Buys $23M Mansion After $27B Loss

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has purchased a $23 million mansion in Washington D.C.'s exclusive Woodland Normanstone neighborhood, making it the third-most expensive real estate purchase in the city. This acquisition follows a significant financial loss due to market reactions to former President Trump's tariff announcement, which reportedly cost Zuckerberg $27 billion in net worth. The mansion, featuring luxury amenities like a basketball court and Olympic-sized swimming pool, supports Zuckerberg's increased focus on policy issues related to American technology leadership. The purchase was made in cash and has led to the property being pixelated on Google Maps for privacy reasons. The acquisition is seen as a strategic move to enhance Meta's presence in D.C., aligning with its interest in public policy and government relations.
