Mark buys a castle

Mark Zuckerberg recently acquired a 19th-century castle near Meta's international headquarters in Ireland, costing an estimated $23 million to $35 million. The spokesperson for Meta stated that Mark and his family are thrilled to preserve this historic home and enjoy their time in Ireland, where Meta maintains its international headquarters.

The castle, Strancally Castle, boasts 440 acres of grounds and features 11 bedrooms, four tower suites, a library, a dining room, and a drawing room. The property was purchased from a prior resident who had lived there with his family for 25 years. Meta's international headquarters are based in Dublin, where the company opened a data center in 2017.

The castle is situated in Waterford, approximately a two-hour drive from Dublin. This is not Mark Zuckerberg's first significant real estate transaction this year; he and his wife also purchased a $170 million mansion in the same exclusive Miami neighborhood as Jeff Bezos, joining many tech billionaires relocating from California due to the state's potential wealth tax.
