Mark Zuckerberg Adds 19th-Century Irish Castle to Real Estate Portfolio

The purchase price for the 1830s-era residence remains undisclosed, though local reports estimate the transaction reached between €20 million and €30 million. Originally constructed for a Tory MP, the castle underwent significant restoration under its former owners, Michael and Giancarla Alen-Buckley. A spokesperson for the family noted that the couple intends to maintain the integrity of the historic site and plans to visit the country, which serves as the international hub for Meta’s operations. Despite the acquisition, the family will maintain their primary residence in the United States. This investment is the latest addition to a diverse property portfolio that includes holdings in Florida, Washington, D.C., and an extensive array of real estate in Palo Alto.
