Thanks to the top 0.1% thriving under Donald Trump’s economy, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has finally been able to purchase his fifth forever home. He owns pads in Palo Alto, Lake Tahoe, Washington, DC, and Kauai, and now joining that portfolio is a two-acre property in Florida. After being listed for $200 million last November, Zuck got his new mansion for mere pennies at $170M. LOL, no, it’s one of the bigger real estate buys in US history, which makes sense given the property sits in Indian Creek Island, the gated community nicknamed “Billionaire Bunker” island. I don’t know which was more appealing to Zuck, the billionaire or bunker part — his Palo Alto and Kauai homes are bunker compounds that have caused much consternation to the local neighborhoods. At least on “Billionaire Bunker” island Zuck is sure to fit right in, what with Jeff Bezos and Ivanka Trump just down the road.
The Meta CEO, 41, and his wife, Priscilla Chan, 41, closed on a $170 million property in the sunshine state on Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal. A spokesperson for the couple declined to comment to PEOPLE.
The outlet reports the purchase is one of the country’s most expensive to date. It sets a new record for Miami-Dade County and trails behind the current national record held by Ken Griffin’s roughly $238 million purchase of a New York apartment in 2019.
The property is located within Miami’s luxury, gated village of Indian Creek, commonly referred to as the “Billionaire Bunker.” The near 300-acre, man-made, barrier island in Biscayne Bay offers 41 waterfront residential home sites, according to the village’s website. The privately-owned residential enclave is currently home to some of the biggest names in sports, entertainment and business.
Celebrity cosmetic surgeon Dr. Aaron Rollins and his wife, real-estate agent Marine Rollins, are the sellers, according to the Journal. The couple first paid more than $30 million for the roughly two-acre site in 2020 and have since spent years designing and building the mansion that now occupies it. The listing first hit the market in November 2025 for $200 million.
Plans for the 30,000 sq. ft. home, which has yet to complete construction, call for amenities like a gym, hair salon, massage room, a library with a secret passageway, a party room and a 1,500-gallon aquarium.
Outside, the property will feature a private, in-ground, heated pool, a garden, a private dock with water access and 200 feet of waterfront.
Zuckerberg and Chan will join the large list of A-listers who already occupy the island, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and retired NFL legend Tom Brady.
Local real estate agents tell the Journal Miami’s market has seen a sharp rise in luxury real estate purchases in recent months, allegedly due to California’s proposed billionaire tax. The measure would impose a one-time 5% wealth tax on residents with a worldwide net worth of over $1 billion in assets. Florida, by comparison, has no state personal income tax.
It’s what we’re all scratching our heads over, so I’m gonna say it right off the bat: why a hair salon? Don’t get me wrong, I’m Samsonella — my curly hair is my greatest strength and vanity. But, why would you want an entire salon in your mansion? For one thing, isn’t it pretty easy for a stylist to make a house call for a VIP client and create an impromptu work station? A whole ass salon makes me think it’s for a larger number of people. So is it for the family plus all the house staff, like, “You will not waste time leaving the grounds for a haircut, Jeeves!” Given Zuck’s history, though, I guess the better question is whether it’s even legal to operate a hair salon on residential property in Indian Creek (iykyk).
But you know what, I’m actually fine with the billionaires sequestering themselves in a single, centralized location. Even better it being an island, and an island in Florida at that. And I hope California does pass that billionaire tax! I also wish Andy Cohen good luck in pitching The Real Housewives of Billionaire Bunker Island. See how the other half .1% live!

Eat the rich 😒
My theory is that they all have the same, sniveling, snowlflake, weak LDE and enjoy the fact that there are no real men there to intimidate them.
Zuck also owns a massive “cabin” at the Yellowstone Club, private skiing in Montana, but that place is hush hush about the owners, very secretive.
About a salom on your property – at home hair, eyelash extensions, spray tan, massages, pedicures, it gets to be a bit much in your private bathroom. If they are servicing your family, everyone’s in the primary bath and it is a mess. Totally worth it if you are having frequent at home glow ups
Lets make the Purge happen, just there.
Makes me glad I’m social media free at this point I phased out facebook pre covid and all the other went shortly after covid. Im also done with news in the states, I read news stories from multiple countries and have become an avid listener of LBC’s James O’Brien. I may be crazy but these people want an elite class and they will use the rest because we don’t matter to them beyond how we enrich them even more.
James O’Brien on LBC is my safe place.
I think you are right that the hair salon will be for the staff. An ex-colleague works for a company that has a salon onsite. She can go into work half an hour early and get her hair washed and blow dried. They have slots of 45 minutes at lunchtime to wash, cut and dry your hair and also 15-minute quick trim appointments. Weirdly they don’t have many public facing roles, so I guess the senior management just like the staff to look good.
It has its own city government of which Jared Kushner is a council member. The village website is a dystopian novel unto itself.
The Victorian man-child is back from solving peace in the middle east (aka making deals with saudi princes)?
TAX THE RICH!
My favorite Zuckerberg memory is when he was testifying before a Senate committee and an aide nipped in ahead of him to place a booster seat in Zuck’s chair. I bet all his shoes have lifts in them too.
Oh, snap it’s on YouTube! Thanks for the recommendation. 😂
Gah, these people are really grating on the nerves, right? They sold their fellow Americans out for a pedo orange wannabe dictator, and now they have the nerve to cry and whine about moving out of CA because the state is ACTUALLY taxing the rich their fair share?
No one needs more money than they can actually spend. They could do a bake sale on their stupid island and probably raise enough cash to solve the nation’s hunger crisis in a hot minute. There’s special circle in hell for them, especially Bezos, destroyer of one of the best newspapers in the country. Screw em all. *END RANT*
Oh yeah, because they weren’t thriving before Trump.
Apologies for being shallow and adding nothing to the conversation but Damn he’s ugly in a special vagina-clamped-shut way.
Good luck with the next hurricane! That will be $170 million down the drain.
I live in Miami and have been to Indian Creek Country Club for a wedding back in 1980. It is an island but the bridge to go there runs about 40 feet from Miami Beach. It’s not natural. It was dredged. Back in the 80’s, there was one police officer for every three residents. Fisher Island in Miami is more exclusive. You actually have to take a boat to get there.
