Even though Facebook does not care much about its users’ privacy, its owner Mark Zuckerberg is so particular about his privacy to the extent that he has purchased 4 houses near his place of residences so he can get his privacy…
He didn’t actually need these new 4 houses, except because of privacy reasons. Just yesterday, news broke that Facebook was removing yet another privacy feature. And soon, people who wish to remain hidden from Facebook searches will have no choice but to be searchable on the social network.
According to Business Insider ;
Mark Zuckerberg just made an unusual purchases.
Well, four purchases.
Facebook’s billionaire founder bought four homes surrounding his current home near Palo Alto, Mercury News reports. The houses cost him more than $30 million, including one 2,600 square-foot home that cost $14 million. (His own home is twice as large at 5,000 square-feet and cost half as much.)
Larry Page made a similar move a few years ago so he could build a massive, 6,000-square-foot mansion. But Zuckerberg’s reason is different. He doesn’t want to live in excess, he just wants a little privacy.
Zuckerberg reportedly took action after he learned that a developer wanted to purchase one of his neighbor’s homes and use the fact that Zuckerberg lived close by as a marketing tactic. He started purchasing the homes last December. Zuckerberg will lease the four homes he just bought back to its current residents.
It’s not like the houses are just wasting. He just wants to control the kind of neighbors he has.

heh heh heh money talking. what you gonna do but listen. lolz dats wassup. although am not happy about the less privacy on FB issue hmmm. again, what you gonna do?
One very Good thing about having a billion dollar company is that u get to spend what you like and still u get the replacement the next few days. Mark is still on top. Let him spend some after all if death comes , he will leave all the billions behind.
who cares,,,, next….
He didn’t but the houses because of privacy reasons. He bought them because he heard a broker was going to buy those houses and then market them as being next to Mark Zuckerberg’s. This will get the broker to resell the houses a lot more and also faster. After buying those houses, he gave them back to the family that previously resided there.
