This month, news broke of Washington’s third most expensive home sale in the history of the city. The buyer? Not a former president or an old-money heir, but one of the district’s new class of political power players – Mark Zuckerberg.
It’s unsurprising for one of the world’s richest men to grow his real estate portfolio with a US$23mil (RM101.37mil) cash purchase.
