Mark Zuckerberg angers locals in tony Silicon Valley enclave over sprawling 11-home, $110M compound: 'They've occupied o

our neighborhood’

For years, Palo Alto’s Crescent Park was a postcard of California suburban bliss — leafy streets, neighborly block parties, and children coasting on bikes. Now, residents say their once-idyllic enclave has been transformed into a real-life game of Monopoly, with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg buying up the board.

Since arriving in 2011, the billionaire and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have amassed at least 11 properties along Edgewood Drive and Hamilton Avenue, spending more than $110 million.

Five homes were folded into an expansive private compound for the couple and their three daughters, outfitted with guest houses, lush gardens, a pickleball court, and a pool with a hydrofloor cover, according to the New York Times.

Nearby structures serve as an entertainment hub, staging area for outdoor events, and — controversially — a private school for 14 children, an unpermitted use under city code.

Sounds like he's competing with Trump over who can be more garish.
