I'm not usually one to appeal to classism, but it did make me laugh that Mr. Zuckerberg is buying up neighbouring properties around his multi-million dollar mansion, so as not to be disturbed by people in the vicinity. Meanwhile, Facebook employees are jammed into 200 square-foot dormitories.

Zuckerberg also rents the houses back to the original owners. http://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-buys-4-homes-for-privacy-2013-10 http://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-buys-4-homes-...
