MARK ZUCKERBERG – $7 MILLION, PALO ALTO

Does this guy really need an introduction? He founded Facebook in his Harvard dorm room, for crying out loud. In any case, Zuckerberg reportedly purchased this home in Palo Alto for $7 million but had also snatched up so much of the nearby residences to extend his abode that we think the $7-million price tag is simply outdated. Indeed, it was reported that he spent more than $43 million to acquire other investment properties surrounding his home and has spent millions more on renovations, turning everything into a huge techie paradise.

So it’s not far-fetched that the final value of his overall Palo Alto estate could exceed the $50-million mark. It’s no big deal since he has a total estimated net worth of $101.2 billion. That is 101 thousand million! Even if he has to pay for home loans or mortgages, it’s no big deal for the founder and creator of Facebook.
