Modest Mansions of Powerful Tech CEOs


Bangalore: Ever wondered where the biggest and richest tech-industry moguls take a break to rest their brains after every eventful day in the web-filled world? Some prefer a modest place to call home, contradictory to their rock-star-nerd status while others have spend lavishly, living in extravagant mansions with countless rooms and facilities, showing the world it really pays to be a geek after all.

Let’s take a look at the palatial dens of the tech titans.

Mark Zuckerberg: Facebook

Location: Palo Alto, Calif.

Cost: $7 million

Bedrooms: 5

Bathrooms: 5

Square feet: 5,617

Zuckerberg’s home may be too modest for a CEO considering the billions he has, but it’s not a bad start for a guy whose last few homes were rentals. He brought it last year and is just few yards from Facebook's new Menlo Park headquarters. It was built in 1903 and has many attractions including an outside fireplace, built-in barbecue, bathroom with an old-fashioned marble tub and heated floors and a sun room that opens up to the yard.
