NEED TO KNOW
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have purchased a $170 million property in Miami’s exclusive Indian Creek community
The mansion, still under construction, will feature nine bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, and luxury amenities like a 1,500-gallon aquarium
The purchase sets a record for Miami-Dade County and follows a rise in luxury real estate sales in Florida
Mark Zuckerberg is expanding his already impressive — sometimes controversial — real estate portfolio with a record-breaking purchase in Miami.
The Meta CEO, 41, and his wife, Priscilla Chan, 41, closed on a $170 million property in the sunshine state on Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal. A spokesperson for the couple declined to comment to PEOPLE.
The outlet reports the purchase is one of the country’s most expensive to date. It sets a new record for Miami-Dade County and trails behind the current national record held by Ken Griffin’s roughly $238 million purchase of a New York apartment in 2019.
The property is located within Miami’s luxury, gated village of Indian Creek, commonly referred to as the “Billionaire Bunker.” The near 300-acre, man-made, barrier island in Biscayne Bay offers 41 waterfront residential home sites, according to the village’s website. The privately-owned residential enclave is currently home to some of the biggest names in sports, entertainment and business.

Celebrity cosmetic surgeon Dr. Aaron Rollins and his wife, real-estate agent Marine Rollins, are the sellers, according to the Journal. The couple first paid more than $30 million for the roughly two-acre site in 2020 and have since spent years designing and building the mansion that now occupies it. The listing first hit the market in November 2025 for $200 million.

Plans for the 30,000 sq. ft. home, which has yet to complete construction, call for amenities like a gym, hair salon, massage room, a library with a secret passageway, a party room and a 1,500-gallon aquarium.
Outside, the property will feature a private, in-ground, heated pool, a garden, a private dock with water access and 200 feet of waterfront.
Zuckerberg and Chan will join the large list of A-listers who already occupy the island, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and retired NFL legend Tom Brady.

Local real estate agents tell the Journal Miami’s market has seen a sharp rise in luxury real estate purchases in recent months, allegedly due to California’s proposed billionaire tax. The measure would impose a one-time 5% wealth tax on residents with a worldwide net worth of over $1 billion in assets. Florida, by comparison, has no state personal income tax.
The new property will join the couple’s list of multi-million dollar estates. Zuckerberg has homes around the country, including in Palo Alto, Calif., on Lake Tahoe and in Hawaii.
