Mark Zuckerberg bought an Irish castle

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg now owns an actual castle. Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan bought Strancally Castle and its 440-acre estate in Ireland “several weeks ago,” according to The Irish Times. While the exact price of the purchase is unclear, the family could have paid “anywhere between €20 million and €30 million” for the 16,000-square-foot castle, which was restored by its previous owners.

“Mark and his family are excited to continue caring for this historic home and look forward to spending time in Ireland, where Meta maintains its international headquarters,” a spokesperson tells The Irish Times. The publication says “it is understood” that Zuckerberg and Chan will still reside in the US.

Strancally Castle was built around 1830 for a Tory MP. The castle’s previous owners were Michael Alen-Buckley, a co-founder of a private investment company, and his wife, Giancarla.
