Mark Zuckerberg has been quietly snapping up massive chunks of real estate for years.
The tech billionaire has bought hundreds of acres of Hawaiian land.
He's also splashed out on large homes in California's Silicon Valley and Lake Tahoe.
Mark Zuckerberg is one of the world's richest people, and his multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio reflects that.
The man responsible for Facebook is worth around an estimated $180 billion, Forbes reported, and part of that fortune includes assets like a sprawling California compound and acres of lush land on a Hawaiian island.
Zuckerberg's real-estate dealings are often shrouded in privacy, including the use of limited-liability companies and addresses linked to the investment management firm Iconiq Capital.
Over the years, he's bought and sold homes all over the country. He's also reportedly built some — a Hawaiian doomsday ranch that has had many scratching their heads, for example.
Zuckerberg's real estate portfolio has an assessed value of around $200 million, according to Business Insider calculations based on property assessments.
However, the assessed value of properties can be lower than reported purchase prices (or current market value), so Zuckerberg's holdings are likely worth significantly more.
Representatives for Zuckerberg didn't immediately respond to BI's request for comment.
Here's what we know about his real estate.
Zuckerberg owns a residential compound in Palo Alto.
The five homes have a total assessed value of over $36.2 million, according to tax records.

It's no surprise that a tech titan has more than one property in Silicon Valley. The Meta CEO owns five homes in the Crescent Park neighborhood of Palo Alto.
He gave viewers a rare peek inside one of them in 2016; the house is even tricked out with a "custom-made artificially intelligent assistant," according to CNBC. The home is only a 10-minute drive from the Meta HQ in Menlo Park.
He bought the first Crescent Park property in May 2011 for $7 million.

Architectural Digest described it as a "'no frills abode" that chooses function over extravagance. Zuckerberg then spent over $43 million on the four homes surrounding his original residence in Crescent Park, The Wall Street Journal reported.
He sold his San Francisco townhouse in 2022 for a reported $31 million.

The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home is located near San Francisco's Dolores Park. He and his wife, Priscilla Chan, reportedly spent $10 million to purchase the townhouse in 2010.
He bought two adjacent estates on the shore of Lake Tahoe around 2019.
Carousel Estate has an assessed value of over $16.4 million, according to tax records.

Lake Tahoe is a popular vacation destination for wealthy Californians in both summer and winter, and Zuckerberg and his family are no exception.
The tax records of the two properties — known as Carousel Estate and Brushwood Estate — display the same address as tax records of other properties linked to Zuckerberg, according to documents viewed by BI.
Zuckerberg reportedly paid $59 million for both properties.
Brushwood Estate has an assessed value of over $39,681,000, according to tax records.

At 5,322 square feet, the Brushwood Estate features six bedrooms, five baths, and two half baths, according to SF Gate. Inside are high-beamed ceilings and picture windows; outside are lush trees, a private dock, and a hot tub. There's also a 2,293-square-foot guesthouse.
The Meta exec owns over 1,200 acres of land in Hawaii.
Over the years, Zuckerberg has added huge plots of Hawaiian land to his portfolio.
BI tracked down at least 1,200 acres between 17 parcels of land that have the same tax address as other properties mentioned above, but are owned by LLCs includingKahu'aina Holdings LLC and Pila'a International LLC.
The 1,200 acres include about 750 acres he reportedly paid $100 million in 2014 for. That encompasses a more than 350-acre span of land on Pila'a Beach.
His plans for Koolau Ranch seem to be in preparation for the worst case scenario.
His real estate in Hawaii has an assessed value of over $41 million, but Zuckerberg paid much more to buy and build on the land.
On one of his Hawaiian parcels, Zuckerberg is reportedly building a huge compound that's said to include a 5,000-square-foot underground bunker with an escape hatch. It's been dubbed Koolau Ranch, and Wired reported that buying the land and creating the compound cost the executive an estimated $270 million.
