Mark Zuckerberg Acquires Gothic Revival Castle in Ireland

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has purchased a Gothic Revival castle in Ireland, according to a report from Architectural Digest. The transaction was conducted off-market, with the price estimated between $23 million and $35 million. The estate, located in County Kildare, is known as Humewood Castle, a 19th-century structure set on 400 acres of parkland. The acquisition adds to Zuckerberg's extensive real estate portfolio, which includes properties in Hawaii, Lake Tahoe, and San Francisco. The castle, previously owned by the family of the late businessman John A. Mulcahy, has been used for exclusive events and gatherings. The purchase highlights a trend of tech billionaires investing in historic European properties. The deal was reportedly finalized in recent weeks, though no official confirmation has been made by Zuckerberg or his representatives.
