Zuckerberg’s $170 M Miami Island Home: A Peek Behind the Billionaire Bunker

Zuckerberg and his wife have just closed a $170 million deal on a two‑acre plot in Miami’s coveted Indian Creek, an enclave nicknamed the Billionaire Bunker.
The new house is still under construction, but reports say it will span 30 000 square feet and feature nine bedrooms, a dock, and an indoor pool.

Indian Creek is famous for its tight‑knit community of wealthy residents—including former NFL star Tom Brady, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Ivanka Trump.
The property itself has changed hands several times: a former celebrity surgeon paid $30 million for it in 2020, and the listing was refreshed at $200 million before Zuckerberg’s purchase.

Security on the Island

Security is a serious matter. The local police force—known for its “butler‑with‑badges” reputation—patrols the single access road by foot, boat, and air. They also cooperate with the Coast Guard on rescue missions, reflecting the island’s maritime environment.

Low Crime Rate

Despite the high profile of its residents, crime reports on Indian Creek are low. Police chief Jeremy Martinez notes that most inhabitants are surprisingly approachable, challenging the stereotype of distant billionaires.

Amenities

The island’s amenities go beyond private homes; it hosts a country club, a golf course, and a network of waterways that make living there both exclusive and logistically complex. Zuckerberg’s new mansion adds to the growing list of high‑profile figures calling this enclave home, underscoring how real estate in Miami continues to attract the world’s richest.
