Mark Zuckerberg Becomes First-Time Homebuyer

A billionaire in flipflops

​The Social Network only perpetuated Mark Zuckerberg's image of a Silicon Valley entrepreneur in flipflops and a hoodie. He has continued to rent his digs since moving from his  Harvard dorm in 2004, despite the fact that he's a billionaire.

But the 26-year-old Facebook CEO is growing up.

Media outlets are reporting that Zuckerberg purchased his first home in Palo Alto for $7 million.

The address wasn't printed for privacy reasons, but reporters were told that the 5,000-square-foot house is located on a quiet street just 10 minutes from the new Facebook headquarters.

It has a saltwater pool, a music alcove, five bedrooms, a porch, and a sunroom.
