Mark Zuckerberg's Miami Home: Inside Indian Creek's Billionaire Bunker

Mark Zuckerberg's Miami home is one of the most expensive residential purchases in Florida history. In March 2026, the Meta founder closed on a reported $170 million estate on Indian Creek Village, the private island near Miami Beach that locals call the Billionaire Bunker. The deal set a Miami-Dade County record. Here is what public reporting tells us about the property, the island, and what a purchase like this says about the very top of the Miami market.

Key takeaways

• Mark Zuckerberg's Miami home is on Indian Creek Village, a private island in Biscayne Bay in Miami-Dade County.
• He paid a reported $170 million, closing on March 2, 2026, described as the most expensive home sale in Miami-Dade history. It was first listed at $200 million in late 2025.
• The newly built limestone home is reported at roughly 28,000 to 30,000 square feet with 9 bedrooms and 11.5 bathrooms.
• One correction worth making: the widely reported underground shelter belongs to his Hawaii ranch, not this Miami property.

Where is Mark Zuckerberg's Miami home?

Mark Zuckerberg's Miami home sits on Indian Creek Village, a small, guard-gated, man-made island in Biscayne Bay in Miami-Dade County, just west of Miami Beach. Despite a lot of loose talk about a sprawling compound, the reporting is clear that his Miami footprint is a single mansion on a waterfront site of roughly two acres, not an assemblage of multiple lots. The purchase closed on March 2, 2026, at a reported $170 million, which outlets described as the most expensive home sale in county history. The property had been listed at $200 million in late 2025 before the deal came together.

As with our other celebrity-home guides, we do not publish the exact address. The island and the market around it are public knowledge; the house number is not something readers need. To see what trades in the surrounding barrier-island market, our Miami Beach homes for sale page and the wider Miami-Dade County market are the right starting points.

Inside the reported $170 million estate

The home is newly built and limestone-clad, reported at somewhere between 28,000 and 30,000 square feet with 9 bedrooms and 11.5 bathrooms. It was designed by Ferris Rafauli, the architect behind several of the most expensive homes in North America. Reported amenities include a gym, a hair salon, a massage room, an aquarium of around 1,500 gallons, and a library with a hidden passageway.

Every one of those details traces to real-estate and news reporting around the sale rather than to any statement from the buyer, so read them as well-sourced description rather than a confirmed spec sheet. What is not in dispute is the headline: at a reported $170 million, this is the priciest single-home sale Miami-Dade has recorded.

The Billionaire Bunker: Indian Creek Village explained

Indian Creek Village is one of the most exclusive enclaves in the country. The village occupies a roughly 300-acre island with only about 41 residential home sites and a 2026 population of fewer than 100 people. It was incorporated as its own municipality back in 1939, and it runs its own police force, reported at roughly 10 full-time officers plus reserves, which gives it one of the highest police-to-resident ratios anywhere in the United States.

That mix of privacy and security earned it the nickname the Billionaire Bunker. Brokers have claimed the combined net worth of residents tops a trillion dollars, and reported prices on the island have roughly doubled over the past several years. Public reporting has placed neighbors such as Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Carl Icahn, Julio Iglesias, and Adriana Lima on the island (Fox Business).

About that bunker: a needed correction

You will see the word bunker attached to almost every Zuckerberg property story, and it is usually wrong when applied to Miami. The widely reported underground shelter, described in a Wired investigation of planning documents as roughly 5,000 square feet, is part of his Ko'olau Ranch on Kauai, Hawaii, not his Indian Creek home. Zuckerberg himself downplayed it as, in his words, a little shelter, and his team compared it to a basement or a hurricane safe room, the kind of thing Kauai County actively encourages.

The other common mix-up is the idea that he assembled multiple parcels over several years to build the Miami compound. That story actually belongs to his Palo Alto, California holdings, where he reportedly spent around $110 million buying up adjacent homes over a decade. In Miami, the public record points to one house and one very large number.

Why billionaires keep buying in Miami-Dade

Zuckerberg's purchase is the headline, but it fits a much larger pattern. Florida has no state income tax, which matters enormously to people at his end of the wealth scale, and Miami has spent the past several years pulling in finance and technology money from higher-tax states. Add deep water, year-round sun, and islands you can literally gate off, and you have a recipe for record-setting sales.

Indian Creek is the extreme version of that story, but the same forces ripple through the rest of the county's waterfront. If you want to understand where this money goes, our luxury homes and waterfront homes collections track the high end, and our roundup of celebrities who live in Florida shows how the famous cluster into a handful of towns.

What it costs to buy near Zuckerberg

Indian Creek Village is effectively closed to new buyers most of the time, with only about 41 home sites and homes that rarely come up. The good news for everyone else is that the neighborhoods around it offer a huge spread of waterfront living. Miami Beach, Bay Harbor Islands, and the barrier-island communities nearby have everything from condos to single-family homes on the water, across a wide range of prices.
