$7 million is by no means a small price to pay for a house, unless, of course, you have a 12-figure net worth – which the social media Goliath Mark Zuckerberg does. Even with a fortune of $116 billion, along with his wife and two children, Zuckerberg is content living in a “quaint” home in Palo Alto, California – one of the most expensive places to live in, the luxurious home of American High-tech, Silicon Valley.

Don’t let the cheap $7 million price tag fool you though, Zuckerberg has also invested more than $50 million buying the properties that surround his home, only to demolish them and re-build smaller ones in their stead. The added privacy given by the surrounding houses has created a homely atmosphere that all parents would be happy to have for their children.
