Mark Zuckerberg may be moving closer to the White House, making his increasingly frequent meetings with President Donald Trump easier to coordinate. The founder of Meta has been revealed to be the secret owner of a $23 million mansion in the exclusive Woodland Normanstone neighborhood of Washington.
The home hit the market on March 3, according to Realtor. The property was sold the following day through a Delaware-based company by an unidentified purchaser who paid cash. The 15,000-square-foot mansion was the third-most expensive sale in the city’s history. Ironclad nondisclosure agreements hushed associated real estate agents, and as soon as the home was sold, images of the estate became blurry on Google Maps, various sources have reported. But last week, as Zuckerberg’s private jet landed at Dulles Airport, activity at the home began picking up. By April 2, as Zuckerberg appeared at the White House, a spokesperson for Meta confirmed the purchase to Politico.
“Mark and Priscilla have purchased a home in D.C., which will allow Mark to spend more time there as Meta continues the work on policy issues related to American technology leadership,” a META spokesperson told Politico.
With a net worth of $172 billion, Zuckerberg was recently listed No. 2 on Forbes’s Billionaire List. The billionaire launched Facebook in 2004 in his dorm room at Harvard University. Within eight years, the company went public, with Zuckerberg owning an estimated 13% of its stock. Today, the company is now known as Meta, a rebrand that took place in 2021 to show the company’s presence in the metaverse.
Zuckerberg is the most recent billionaire to purchase a property in the nation’s capital, as a growing number of technology executives are purchasing homes in the area. Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and publisher of The Washington Post; Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal; and Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, are just a few of the top technology figures who are now calling Washington, D.C., home and currying relationships with President Donald Trump.
New Digs for Zuckerberg
The home is located on a corner lot in the Northwest section of the nation’s capital. Landmarks such as Washington Cathedral and Embassy Row are nearby.
Not much is known about Zuckerberg’s home. It was registered to a trust connected to Democratic donors Frank and Sylvia White. The couple purchased the property in 2013 for $5.15 million and demolished the dwelling. Working with architect Robert Gurney, the Whites constructed a modern, red-brick home. Gurney connected three structures together by glass walkways, giving the home a modern aesthetic. Today, the home boasts exterior walls and fencing for security purposes. In addition to featuring five bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms, the home includes two kitchens, a basketball court, and a pool.
While it is unclear how much time Zuckerberg will spend in Washington, his proximity to the Oval Office is clear. Zuckerberg’s new digs are within walking distance of Vice President JD Vance’s residence at the Naval Observatory. The Meta founder can drive to the White House in under 15 minutes in good traffic.
