MARK ZUCKERBERG – $59 MILLION, LAKE TAHOE COMPOUND

If there is anything we learned from Mark Zuckerberg, it is to be persistent when you have a winning idea and, if possible, bring along your friends with it. Who would’ve thought that the simple Harvard student would one day launch the billion-dollar Facebook empire? So there really is no excuse for many of us to be successful in life. With his net worth to the north of $103 million, he is among the world’s wealthiest billionaires.

He could even afford the best luxury in life. He dresses simply, though, if you noticed. However, when it comes to houses, he does splurge, especially on the home security system side, to ensure his family’s safety. The media entrepreneur owns a $59 million compound composed of two side-by-side mansions on Lake Tahoe’s banks. Its total land area is about 10 acres and has a combined 15 bedrooms and multiple piers to house the different boats used in the lake.
