Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has quietly acquired two private estates on Tahoe’s West Shore to the tune of $59 million, as the Wall Street Journal reported.
A controversial figure in terms of how social media has disrupted notions of privacy, Zuckerberg used a limited-liability company, a wealth manager and nondisclosure agreements in an attempt to shield the transactions from public view, the Journal noted. The 34-year-old tech titan has amassed a compound worthy of a robber baron at the world famous alpine lake, hailed for its deep and clear blue waters, pristine beaches and ski resorts.
Of course, $59 million might seem like a drop in the bucket to Zuckerberg, who has a net worth of $71.5 billion, making him the eighth richest person in the world, according to Forbes.
The two estates, known as Brushwood Estate and Carousel Estate, were previously on the market in 2017, as Fox notes. Brushwood was originally owned by novelist Stewart Edward White and its previous owner was San Francisco philanthropist Tamara Fritz, according to public records.
The main house has six bedrooms, five full baths, two half-baths and is 5,322 square feet. It has a 2,293-square-foot guesthouse with two bedrooms and two and a half baths. It also has a private dock, boat lift and a hot tub, as Fox cites. Meanwhile, the Carousel property is noted for its “rustic charm.”
Certainly this could make for some choice real estate #humblebrags on Facebook. Wonder if he needs a housesitter?
