Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to construct a massive 75,000-square-foot compound consisting of 11 buildings at Lake Tahoe, California.
The plans include a 20,000-square-foot main residence, guest houses, a lakeside spa and gym, a security gatehouse, storage sheds, a home office, and a cottage. Landscaping elements in the plan include mulch trails, bridges, fire pits, and stone walkways.
With a net worth of around $179 billion, Zuckerberg has acquired adjacent properties totaling 10 acres and 600 feet of prime lakefront shoreline on the western shore of Lake Tahoe for $59 million in 2018 and 2019.
The clandestine acquisitions were made through a newly created company and nondisclosure agreements with real estate agents.
One historic home, the Carousel Estate, has already been demolished, despite its historic status, after renovations disqualified it for protection.
