The billionaire entrepreneur's property purchases in Palo Alto have angered his neighbours. Over $110 million has been spent on 11 Crescent Park properties by Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, since 2011. Zuckerberg and Chan bought homes at twice or triple the market value to improve their portfolio.

Five residences were combined into a sprawling estate for the millionaire and his family with guesthouses, gardens, a pickleball court, and a hydrofloor pool. Another attraction was the property's seven-foot Priscilla Chan statue.

Under the huge edifice is a 7,000-square-foot room called 'basements' in construction permits but called 'bunker' or 'billionaire's bat-cave' by neighbours.

Neighbours worry about the neighbourhood's continual construction, noise, security, and media attention. According to media reports, Zuckerberg has taken many steps to minimise neighbourhood disturbance.

Zuckerberg purchased his first significant home in Palo Alto, near Meta's headquarters, for around $7 million. Over the years, he also acquired adjacent properties to expand privacy, reportedly spending over $30 million in total. Unlike the houses of most millionaires, Mark Zuckerberg's Palo Alto home is fairly modest.

Instead of investing in a magnificent residence, Zuckerberg appears to have chosen 'shape and purpose' above crass displays of opulence. In reality, the décor is simple and typical of a suburban home.
