Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire Meta titan, has been outed as the buyer of a $23 million residence in Washington, DC — a purchase that underscores a growing trend among tech execs securing a foothold in the nation’s capital during President Donald Trump’s second term.
The expansive property, located less than 15 minutes from the White House depending on traffic, also places Zuckerberg in walking distance to Vice President JD Vance’s official residence at the Naval Observatory.
The transaction, executed in March through a Delaware-based limited liability company in all cash, ranks as the third-most expensive home sale in the city’s history, according to Politico.
