Even the Facebook Giant lives beneath his means

It is rumored that Mark Zuckerberg is buying a $7million dollar home.  When all the other tech giants in the valley are indulging in palatial estates, he is keeping it real.  He enjoys driving an Acura and staying under the radar.  Even the Russian Czar investor of Facebook dropped $100 million on a Palo Alto home, creating one of the largest real estate transactions in the US, while Mark Z hides behind the orange trees of his not-quite half acre plot. 

I'm not down playing the home by any means.  It's not modest, with the 5600sf remodeled turn of the century charm, and salt water pool.  But it is modest in comparison to the billionaires of his category.

Read the whole story.  I love it.
