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.
