Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg Purchases Irish Castle

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have acquired Strancally Castle, a 16,000‑square‑foot historic estate in County Wicklow, Ireland, along with its 440 acres. The purchase, completed several weeks ago, is reported to have cost between €20 million and €30 million, though the exact figure remains unconfirmed. The castle, recently restored by its former owners, will serve as a private residence for the Zuckerberg family. Meta’s spokesperson noted the family’s enthusiasm for caring for the historic home and highlighted that the company already maintains an international headquarters in Ireland. The acquisition underscores the growing trend of tech leaders investing in heritage properties abroad.
