"Mark Zuckerberg Buys $170M Mansion on 'Billionaire Bunker' Island in Miami"

From People Magazine, March 3:

The purchase marks the largest residential sale in Miami-Dade County, according to the Wall Street Journal 

Mark Zuckerberg is expanding his already impressivesometimes controversial — real estate portfolio with a record-breaking purchase in Miami. 

The Meta CEO, 41, and his wife, Priscilla Chan, 41, closed on a $170 million property in the sunshine state on Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal. A spokesperson for the couple declined to comment to PEOPLE. 

The outlet reports the purchase is one of the country’s most expensive to date. It sets a new record for Miami-Dade County and trails behind the current national record held by Ken Griffin’s roughly $238 million purchase of a New York apartment in 2019. 

The property is located within Miami’s luxury, gated village of Indian Creek, commonly referred to as the "Billionaire Bunker." The near 300-acre, man-made, barrier island in Biscayne Bay offers 41 waterfront residential home sites, according to the village’s website. The privately-owned residential enclave is currently home to some of the biggest names in sports, entertainment and business.  

Celebrity cosmetic surgeon Dr. Aaron Rollins and his wife, real-estate agent Marine Rollins, are the sellers, according to the Journal. The couple first paid more than $30 million for the roughly two-acre site in 2020 and have since spent years designing and building the mansion that now occupies it. The listing first hit the market in November 2025 for $200 million....
