MARK Zuckerberg has purchased a $170million property nestled in the so-called Billionaires Bunker – which is known for its top security and exclusivity.
The tech overlord, who’s also said to have an apocalypse-ready property in Hawaii, will now be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady, and Ivanka Trump.
Zuckerberg’s new home, which is still under construction, is on Indian Creek Island – an exclusive barrier island north of Miami, Florida, that’s only accessible to residents, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Once finished, the limestone mansion is expected to be 27,889 square feet, and it’s sitting on 1.8 acres and is positioned just 200 feet from the water.
It will consist of nine bedrooms, 11 full bathrooms, four powder rooms, and have an elevator.
Among the list of luxury amenities are a gym, hair salon, massage room, 1,500-gallon aquarium, and a library with a secret room.
The historic price tag makes this the most expensive property ever sold in Miami-Dade County, and one of the biggest sales in the country.
The record holder is Ken Griffin, who purchased a $239million penthouse apartment just south of Central Park in New York City in 2019.
Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan purchased the property from cosmetic surgeon Aaron Rollins and real estate agent Marine Rollins. They initially listed it for $200million in November.
Billionaire Bunker currently consists of about 41 waterfront homes, and has an exclusive country club and a dedicated 24/7 police force.
In the middle of the island is an 18-hole golf course that’s one of the largest in Florida.
A single bridge guarded by security is the only way on the island, and there’s an island cop for every three inhabitants.
Plus, a 24-hour marine patrol cruises through the ocean waters to ensure no one sneaks onto the land.
The Facebook founder’s main residence is in Palo Alto, California, but he also has properties on Lake Tahoe and in Hawaii.
