Mark Zuckerberg buys mansion next to the White House.

Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg has been confirmed as the buyer of a $23 million mansion in Washington, D.C., less than a 15-minute drive from the White House.

Page Six said the move reflects a trend of tech executives looking to set foot in the capital during President Donald Trump's second term. The sprawling mansion is also near the official residence of Vice President JD.

The transaction, made in March through a Delaware LLC for cash, is the third-most expensive home sale in the city’s history, according to Politico. A Meta spokesperson confirmed the purchase, telling The Post: “Mark and Priscilla have purchased a home in D.C., which will allow Mark to spend more time there as Meta continues to work on policy issues related to America’s technological leadership.”

The 14,000-square-foot brick mansion, designed by renowned local architect Robert M. Gurney, was built on the site of a $5.15 million home that was demolished in 2013. The new home has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, two kitchens and three fireplaces.

The home consists of three separate sections connected by a glass-covered walkway, blending modern touches with classic gable roofs, tall chimneys and steel windows. Inside, these areas serve as both spacious communal living spaces and cozy family spaces. The exterior features durable brick and limestone walls, slate roofs, powder-coated steel windows and copper downspouts, chosen to blend in with the neighborhood while also standing up to the elements.

Outdoor amenities include a basketball court and swimming pool, protected by a newly constructed wall and fence for added security. Situated on a nearly one-acre corner lot in the leafy Massachusetts Avenue Heights neighborhood of Northwest D.C., the home is surrounded by landmarks like the majestic Washington Cathedral and embassies.

The home fits in with the street’s traditional aesthetic, creating spacious private outdoor spaces and greenery in the back.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s move coincides with a wave of tech figures establishing a presence in Washington as the industry seeks to influence the Trump administration. Others have been there for some time.

David Sacks, a cryptocurrency adviser to President Trump, bought a $10.3 million home in January, while Amazon founder Jeff Bezos bought a $23 million home in 2016. PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel spent $13 million on a home in 2021, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt owns a $15 million mansion in 2024.

By contrast, Elon Musk, a key adviser to the president, eschews a permanent address in Washington, D.C., instead choosing to sleep in his office in the Executive Office Building and frequently traveling with Trump to Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

The timing of billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s home purchase has drawn attention. The Facebook CEO was seen at the White House on April 2, the same day reports emerged of Elon Musk’s plans to leave government service at the end of May, fueling speculation about Zuckerberg’s potential role as Trump’s tech confidant.

But there are immediate challenges ahead for the Meta chief. The company faces an antitrust trial in April, with the Federal Trade Commission considering breaking up WhatsApp and Instagram. A deal with the government could mitigate the risk, although President Trump may see political value in targeting a tech giant.
