This is hilarious. He starts the largest social networking site and then buys neighboring houses for so that he doesn't have to have neighbors.

Make your money. Spend it how you want. The irony is pretty great here, though.
Pretty hypocritical but meh..
Not hypocritical if you ask me. He saw a need and filled it, even if it wasn't HIS need. I don't drink but I'd help other people drink (responsibly) if I knew there was the possibility of a huge payout.
What are you talking about?
The need for a platform like Facebook has nothing to do with privacy. Facebook has slowly reduced privacy on the platform to almost nothing, and with that has come reduced use.
It is hypocritical because he has made Facebook less private as the website has developed and has sold the information from removing this privacy. However, he then uses the money from selling away other people's privacy to buy his own privacy. Sounds pretty hypocritical to me.
But like I said meh... I don't really care anyway.
He is leasing them back to the current residents. Just didn't want to have the developers use him as a marketing ploy to sell the homes. I guess you can say he sort of went overboard but when you have that kind of money...........why not?
More interesting question, what do you think he'll do 10 years from now ? Buy his own country ?
Move to Mars to have more privacy.
No, it's not an outdated maxim, since it's still correct. Kids these days.
I think anyone who would buy a house because it's advertised as being in Zuck's neighborhood is a douche. Unfortunately, the person who would be attracted to the prospect of living near Zuck would also be the exact person who would openly brag about it.
