Page has commented on Musk's preference for a nomadic lifestyle, highlighting the diverse ways tech leaders approach their wealth and lifestyle choices. Musk has famously committed to a lifestyle that includes owning no house, a major contrast to the opulence typically associated with his peers in the billionaire club. He does...

POV: buying a plot of land with the dream of building your forever home, then you return to find a $1.5 million house built on it. This is what actually happened to the vacant lot bought by Dr Daniel Kenigsberg. The doctor, who specializes in endocrinology, is taking the owner of the ‘cuckoo’ house to court. The home ended his long-term hopes of owning a house next door to his childhood home. Situated in New Haven, Connecticut, Kenigsberg bought the half-acre strip at 51 Sky Top Terrace back in 1991. His father bought the home nearby for just $5,000 in 1953 – so it had sentimental significance. His family even bought the lot directly from Eleazar Parmly Jr....

People are flooding to social media in awe of a mega-pyramid being constructed in Dubai. Well, the city in the United Arab Emirates is planning to create a pyramid which dwarfs the Great Pyramid of Giza. In 2008, plans were unveiled for a mega-pyramid - called Ziggurat - with the hopes of construction starting in 2021 and it being completed by 2028. Its design was inspired by the pyramids of the Egyptians and Mayans, however, blown up on an even bigger scale.

Mark Zuckerberg’s job can be hard to describe to a child. But one of his favorite hobbies these days—producing beef—is easier to understand. The Meta CEO recently revealed that his daughter misunderstood what his main job was. “For a while, she just thought that I was a cattle rancher,” the Facebook cofounder told Morning Brew Daily on Friday. While Zuckerberg’s fascination with martial arts has been well documented, he’s also intent on producing some of the best beef on the planet—not to sell commercially, but to enjoy with friends and family. The tech billionaire is raising cattle on Ko’olau Ranch, a property he owns on the...

Hyper-empathetic? Get the tissues out, because a remote cottage dubbed the UK’s ‘loneliest’ home has been taken off the market for one heartbreaking reason. …nobody wanted to buy it (sob). The abandoned three-bedroom property, in Whernside, North Yorkshire, has no mains electricity or water and was originally listed for sale in summer 2022. Priced at £300,000, it was even lowered to £250,000 in May 2023 in an attempt to sell it, but to no avail. It’s fairly inaccessible considering it’s a 20-minute walk from the nearest parking spot. (The property was put up for sale for £300,000 .Image: Fisher Hopper /...

Some home sales make a big splash, while others happen with little fanfare. A recent one, involving a property that's been linked to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, was of the latter variety. According to a report from the Real Deal, the four-bedroom, 3.5-bath mansion on about 3.5 acres in Woodside, CA, passed from one limited liability corporation to another in a $29.6 million deal a couple of weeks ago. Little else is known about the transaction, but the home sale is a mere drop in Zuckerberg's real estate portfolio bucket. The tech giant owns more than $300 million worth of properties in nearby Palo Alto, CA, and in Hawaii. (The home was built in 1999....
