Mark Zuckerberg Buys $170M Miami Mansion – Most Expensive Home in City History

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has purchased a mansion on Indian Creek Island in Miami, Florida, for $170 million, breaking the record for the most expensive residential real estate transaction in Miami-Dade County, according to multiple reports.

The property, located at 7 Indian Creek Island Road, was sold to Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, on March 2, 2026. The seller was plastic surgeon Aaron Rollins, and his wife, real estate agent Marine Rollins, who originally purchased the 1.84-acre waterfront lot in 2020 for $30 million. The purchase price is significantly higher than the previous record of $120 million, set in 2025 by property developer Vlad Doronin for a mansion on Star Island.

The mansion, still under construction, was originally listed for $200 million in November 2025. Designed by Canadian architect Ferris Rafauli, the nine-bedroom, 11.5-bathroom home is intended to be a modern architectural masterpiece. Features planned for the estate include a grand limestone façade, seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces, a “secret” library passageway, a wellness wing with a gym and salon, a 1,500-gallon aquarium, a jazz lounge, and a 60-foot pool.

Indian Creek Island is a private island known as a haven for billionaires, earning it the nickname “Billionaire Bunker.” The island operates as a small municipality with its own local government, but access to areas like the golf course and country club is restricted. Zuckerberg will reportedly be neighbors with Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, investor Carl Icahn, and former NFL star Tom Brady.

Danny Hertzberg, a representative from Jills-Zeder Group, the firm handling the transaction, described the sale as “the highest sale in Miami history by a significant margin.”

Zuckerberg’s purchase is part of a growing trend of tech billionaires relocating to South Florida, driven by lifestyle offerings and favorable tax policies. Google co-founder Sergey Brin is reportedly also in the process of purchasing a home in Miami Beach for $50 million, and Alphabet founder Larry Page has acquired three properties in the area totaling $188 million. This migration is linked to concerns about potential “pajak miliarder” or “billionaire taxes” in California, prompting some of the wealthiest individuals to seek alternative locations for their primary residences and investments.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Zuckerberg’s net worth is approximately $231 billion, making him one of the world’s richest people. He currently owns properties in Palo Alto and Lake Tahoe, California, Washington D.C., and Kauai, Hawaii.
