The most expensive home sale in Miami-Dade County closed on Monday: a $170 million mansion in the Billionaire Bunker.
Welcome to the neighborhood, Zuck.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the latest tech billionaire to buy a home in South Florida, according to reports. And not just any home.
The purchase of a partially completed waterfront mansion at 7 Indian Creek Island Rd. was finalized this week, according to the local multiple listing service. The nearly 28,000-square-foot Indian Creek home, which the listing calls “the largest residence ever created on Miami’s most exclusive island,” has 200 feet of waterfront access, 9 bedrooms and 11 full bathrooms.
The home was still under construction when it was listed for $200 million in November.

Jill Hertzberg’s team at luxury South Florida brokerage the Jills Zeder Group represented the seller, cosmetic surgeon Aaron Rollins and his wife, Marine Rollins. Hertzberg said the couple had been building a home on the lot but decided to change course and put the house up for sale.
Brett Harris of Bespoke Real Estate represented the buyer. Bespoke has been involved in three sales over $100 million out of the eight total in the Miami area in the last 18 months, said Michael Cantwell, the chief marketing officer and founding partner of the brokerage.
The house had interest from several buyers and remained on the market for about 40 days, Hertzberg said. She said the house sold faster than she was expecting.
Hertzberg said the sale price reflects just how desirable Indian Creek is, adding that an empty lot on the island recently sold for over $100 million. Indian Creek, known locally as the “Billionaire Bunker,” is an exclusive community located off Miami Beach and near Surfside and Bal Harbour. Zuckerberg’s new neighbors will include Jeff Bezos, Ivanka Trump and Carl Icahn.
A representative for Zuckerberg declined to comment to the Miami Herald.

Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are also among the California tech billionaires who have relocated to South Florida in recent months, seemingly fleeing a proposed wealth tax on California’s billionaires. Page bought more than $170 million worth of property in Coconut Grove, and Brin reportedly purchased a $50 million home on Allison Island.
Barry Sternlicht, the billionaire co-founder, chairman and CEO of the Starwood Capital Group investment fund, said at a recent media tour of one of his Miami Beach condo projects that the money these billionaires are saving in taxes is enough to cover their ultra-luxury real estate buys in South Florida.
Real estate agents across the Miami area have said they’ve seen surging interest from ultra-wealthy buyers from California, New York and other higher-tax states in recent months.
Just last week, another home at a billionaire price-point went up for sale in Coconut Grove, a $110 million 1920s-era waterfront home at 3149 Brickell Ave. The house neighbors the Arsht Estate, which was the first Miami-Dade home to sell for over $100 million when billionaire hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin bought the property in 2022.
Ashley Cusack, the broker listing the Coconut Grove property, said she’s noticed that more ultra-wealthy buyers are shopping for primary residences, rather than second homes, in South Florida.
“That’s where the price tags get bigger,” Cusack said. “Their secondary home is not going to be the same value as their primary residence.”
