The property, a newly completed estate being sold by Jersey Mike&#8217;s Subs founder Peter Cancro, is expected to fetch between $150 million and $200 million, The Wall Street Journal reported.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>According to WSJ, the couple is purchasing the nearly 2-acre property from a limited liability company tied to Cancro, who built the mansion from scratch after acquiring the lot. A neighbour on Indian Creek, Irma Braman, told the publication that Zuckerberg plans to move in by April. It&#8217;s unclear whether the deal has closed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Zuckerberg joins a growing list of California billionaires heading south to Florida<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Meta CEO&#8217;s purchase makes him the latest\u2014and arguably the biggest\u2014name in a wave of Silicon Valley billionaires putting down roots in South Florida. Google co-founders Larry Page and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/sergey-brin\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Sergey Brin<\/a> have both made purchases in the Miami area in recent weeks. Page picked up multiple properties in Coconut Grove for roughly $188 million, while Brin is reportedly in talks for a $50 million home on Biscayne Bay. <!-- -->Venture capitalist Peter Thiel opened a Miami office for his investment firm on New Year&#8217;s Eve, making his Florida move official.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The common thread? California&#8217;s proposed Billionaire Tax Act\u2014a ballot measure backed by a healthcare workers&#8217; union that calls for a one-time 5% tax on the net worth of anyone worth over $1 billion. If it qualifies for the November ballot and passes, it would retroactively apply to anyone who was a California resident as of January 1, 2026. For Zuckerberg, whose net worth sits at around $240 billion according to Bloomberg&#8217;s Billionaires Index, that&#8217;s a potential tax bill north of $10 billion.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>California gave billionaires a year&#8217;s notice to leave\u2014and many took the hint<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The irony isn&#8217;t lost on anyone. California&#8217;s Legislative Analyst&#8217;s Office had projected the tax would raise tens of billions. But that estimate assumed billionaires would stay put. They didn&#8217;t. In the 10 days before Christmas alone, entities connected to Sergey Brin terminated or moved 15 California LLCs out of the state, The New York Times reported. <!-- -->More than 45 LLCs associated with Larry Page filed similar paperwork.<!-- --> David Sacks, the tech investor and White House AI adviser, opened an office for his venture capital firm in Austin, Texas.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Not everyone&#8217;s running, though. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang publicly said he was &#8220;perfectly fine&#8221; with the tax. &#8220;We chose to live in Silicon Valley and whatever taxes they would like to apply, so be it,&#8221; he told Bloomberg Television.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Indian Creek: the private island where a $150M mansion is the entry ticket<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>As for Zuckerberg&#8217;s new neighbourhood, Indian Creek is about as exclusive as it gets. The gated island has its own police force, a single guarded bridge for access, and 24\/7 marine patrols. Residents include Jeff Bezos, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Carl Icahn, and Tom Brady. Another nearly completed home on the island is currently listed for $200 million.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Zuckerberg already owns homes in Palo Alto, near Lake Tahoe, in Hawaii, and in Washington, D.C. A Meta spokesperson declined to comment on the Florida purchase. Whether the move signals a change in primary residence or is simply another addition to his real estate portfolio remains to be seen\u2014but given the tax math, the answer seems fairly obvious.<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/technology\/tech-news\/after-keeping-mum-on-billionaire-tax-that-has-google-co-founders-leave-california-mark-zuckerberg-too-may-be-moving-from-the-place-that-has-been-his-home-for-10-plus-years\/articleshow\/128154870.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are reportedly buying a $150-$200 million mansion on Miami&#8217;s exclusive&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1526,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4572,4575,4573,4570,4571,4576,4579,4578,4574,4577],"class_list":["post-1525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-billionaires-bunker-miami","tag-california-tax-laws","tag-florida-billionaire-tax","tag-indian-creek-mansion","tag-mark-zuckerberg-relocation","tag-meta","tag-meta-ceo","tag-sergey-brin","tag-silicon-valley-billionaires","tag-zuckerberg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1525\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
