Mark Zuckerberg pays $170M for Miami mansion on Indian Creek Island, setting Florida record
Mar 3, 2026
Key Points
- Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan paid $170 million for an under-construction Miami mansion, setting Florida's residential real estate record.
- The Indian Creek Island property sellers roughly quintupled their $30 million 2020 purchase price in six years.
- Zuckerberg's timing fuels speculation he moved to Florida to avoid California's proposed wealth tax on net worth.
Summary
Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan paid $170 million for an under-construction mansion on Indian Creek Island in Miami, closing Monday. The purchase sets a Florida residential real estate record.
The roughly two-acre property will contain a nine-bedroom, 30,000-square-foot home. Amenities include a dock, swimming pool, gym, hair salon, massage room, 1,500-gallon aquarium, and a library with a secret passageway.
Cosmetic surgeon Aaron Rollins and real estate agent Marne Rollins sold the land for $170 million after buying it for just over $30 million in 2020, roughly quintupling their investment in six years. Ken Griffin holds the U.S. record for a single property at $238 million for an apartment. Florida's previous residential record was a $225 million waterfront compound in Naples sold last year.
The timing suggests a possible tax motivation. California has proposed a wealth tax that would have triggered at least a one-time payment on Zuckerberg's net worth. By relocating to Florida and purchasing the property, he avoids that exposure.
