Mark Zuckerberg Purchases $23M Washington, DC Mansion Near White House

The Meta CEO's move is seen as a strategic effort to influence policy discussions on technology and AI regulation as the company faces an antitrust trial.

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.
