Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg now has a mansion in the District of Columbia, having purchased a roughly $23 million property.
The 15,000-square-foot property in the Northwest neighborhood of Woodland Normanstone went on the market on March 3 and sold on March 4, according to Realtor.com. The sale was completed March 6, according to the Washington Business Journal.
The buyer was not disclosed at the time, but turns out to have been the social media titan, according 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 Wednesday, referring to Mr. Zuckerberg and his wife.
The sale of the mansion was the third-most-expensive home sale in the city’s history, according to the Washington Business Journal.
Other people who own properties in the neighborhood include PayPal found Peter Thiel, who bought his home from former Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross; former Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin and Kellyanne Conway, a White House adviser to President Trump in his first term.
