Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have purchased Strancally Castle, a historic 19th-century estate in Ireland. The couple bought the property several weeks ago, according to local reports.
The 16,000-square-foot castle is located on a 440-acre estate. While the exact purchase price has not been publicly confirmed, estimates suggest the deal was worth between €20 million and €30 million. The castle was originally built around 1830 for a Tory MP and was restored by its previous owners, private investment co-founder Michael Alen-Buckley and his wife Giancarla.
A spokesperson for Zuckerberg, Brian Baker, confirmed the purchase to reporters. He stated that Mark and his family look forward to caring for the historic home and visiting when traveling to Ireland. Meta maintains its international headquarters in Ireland.
Despite buying the historic property, Zuckerberg and Chan will continue to reside in the United States and plan to visit the castle during their travels.
