Tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have bought an Irish castle and are “excited” about the historic home, a spokesman for the businessman said in a statement Thursday.
Meta’s founder and CEO bought the three-storey Gothic-style Strancally Castle from the Alen-Buckley family in recent weeks.
“Mark and his family are excited to continue caring for this historic home and look forward to spending time in Ireland, where Meta maintains its international headquarters,” the spokesman said.
Built in 1827 for an English politician, the property is a three-storey, cut-stone Gothic Revival house in County Waterford, about 150 kilometres (93 miles) southwest of Dublin.
The price paid by Zuckerberg in the off-market deal is not known.
