Overview

• Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have acquired a 15,000-square-foot mansion in the Woodland Normanstone neighborhood of Washington, DC, for $23 million in cash.
• The property, designed by architect Robert Gurney, is notable for its modern design and proximity to the White House, just a 12-minute drive away.
• Meta confirmed the purchase, stating that it will enable Zuckerberg to spend more time in Washington, DC, to work on policy issues related to American technology leadership.
• The transaction was conducted with significant secrecy, including non-disclosure agreements for real estate agents and the mansion's address being blurred on Google Maps.
• This purchase aligns with a broader trend of tech executives acquiring homes in DC to enhance access to political decision-makers, as Meta prepares for an antitrust trial set to begin on April 14, 2025.
