Mark Zuckerberg moves to Florida's 'Billionaire Bunker' amid CA wealth tax | Fox Business Added: Feb 11, 2026
Mark Zuckerberg moves to Florida's 'Billionaire Bunker' amid CA wealth tax | Fox Business
Mark Zuckerberg is allegedly buying a Miami mansion as Meta's CEO joins other California billionaires fleeing to Florida amid a proposed 5% wealth tax on ultra-rich residents.
Page, Brin, Ellison, Thiel, Sacks — and now, Zuckerberg. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the latest California billionaire heading for Florida, snapping up a massive waterfront mansion in Miami’s exclusive "Billionaire Bunker," as Golden State lawmakers push a proposed 5% tax on the ultra-wealthy. Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are buying a newly built mansion on Indian Creek, one of the area’s most expensive enclaves. The deal has not been confirmed as closed, sources with knowledge of the transaction told The Wall Street Journal, but neighbors said Zuckerberg plans to move in by April — signaling a relocation rather than a vacation home. "People like Zuckerberg plan three moves ahead. That billionaire tax chatter has a lot of Palo Alto owners doing real math. If you’re staring at a potential 5% hit tied to net worth, Florida becomes a business decision. And Indian Creek is the clearest signal you’re serious, because it’s built for privacy and control," Troy Dean Home CEO Troy Ippolito told Fox News Digital in reaction. PETER THIEL DONATES $3M TO GROUP FIGHTING PROPOSED CALIFORNIA BILLIONAIRE TAX "This is a loud signal that South Florida is a primary market now. When someone at Zuckerberg’s level buys here, it changes buyer psychology overnight," he continued. "If that tax actually moves forward, you’ll see the impact first at the very top, because there’s so little true trophy inventory." The nearly 2-acre property is estimated to be worth $150 million to $200 million, based on comparable sales, and the reported seller is a limited liability company tied to Jersey Mike’s Subs founder Peter Cancro. Cancro cashed out big in 2024 when he sold a majority stake in Jersey Mike’s to Blackstone for $8 billion, including debt. His home sale to Zuckerberg was off-market, a common move for ultra-wealthy buyers seeking privacy. Aerial views of the property show that it sits across Biscayne Bay and features a private dock, wraparound terraces, lush landscaping, a waterfront pool, charming blue shutters and other elaborate amenities. The estate joins Zuckerberg's already extensive real estate portfolio in places like Lake Tahoe and Palo Alto in California, and Kauai, Hawaii. "It’s one entrance, tightly controlled, and only about 41 homes. You’re minutes from Miami, but it feels isolated. If you’re a global name, and you want a truly private backyard, this is as close as it gets," Ippolito said. Meta responded after publication, telling Fox News Digital, "We do not have a comment on the WSJ reporting from yesterday." Some of Zuckerberg’s new neighbors on Indian Creek include Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady, Carl Icahn, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, David Guetta, Julio Iglesias, Jaime Gilinski and Edward Lampert. Zuckerberg’s move comes on the heels of other notable, longtime California-based billionaires who have solidified residency in South Florida in response to a proposed California wealth tax. Though the initiative has not yet received the required 875,000 signatures to qualify for the November ballot, the proposal — backed by the Service Employees International Union–United Healthcare Workers West — would impose a one-time 5% tax on the net worth of California residents with assets exceeding $1 billion. The tax would be due in 2027, and taxpayers could spread payments over five years, with additional costs, according to the California Legislative Analyst’s Office. If voters approve the measure, anyone who was a California resident on Jan. 1, 2026, would owe the tax, according to the proposal’s language. Many South Florida real estate agents have told Fox News Digital that since the new year, a fresh wave of buyer interest has flooded in from California, with increased calls and broker website traffic. "There's a few other very big founders and also tech giants and also venture capitalist firms, the heads of which I've also moved here," luxury real estate broker Julian Johnston of The Corcoran Group previously said. "It was always a layover, one night, an event, but Miami's changed a lot in the last 10 years. It's culturally more interesting… They said they were quite happy to move here and then see what happens in the next few years." GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE "One client said, ‘You know, this could be like a $5 billion tax for me,’" he recalled. "So they’re moving because of that." "Florida feels predictable. You have a clearer tax picture, fewer hurdles, and a much easier day-to-day," Ippolito weighed in. "A lot of buyers feel like California treats them like a target. Florida treats them like they belong here." READ MORE FROM FOX BUSINESS

Quote of the day by Epicurus: 'He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with...' - The Economic Times Added: Feb 12, 2026
Quote of the day by Epicurus: 'He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with...' - The Economic Times
Quote of the day by Epicurus: Ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus offers timeless wisdom on love and relationships. He taught that true joy comes from appreciation and simple pleasures, not endless desire. Friendship forms the foundation of lasting bonds. Avoiding jealousy and focusing on mutual care brings contentment. This philosophy guides modern couples towards fulfilling connections.
Epicurus, the ancient Greek philosopher, is celebrated for his wisdom on happiness, love, and human relationships. His philosophy teaches that true joy in love and relationships comes from appreciation, simplicity, and mutual care, rather than endless desire or material wealth.Read more: Proverb of the day by AristotleEpicurus on Contentment in LoveEpicurus believed that love is best experienced with gratitude and satisfaction, even in small gestures. His documented quote, “He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing,” reminds us that chasing extravagance or perfection in relationships often leads to disappointment.In love, contentment means valuing the time spent together, the trust built, and the emotional support shared. Epicurus encouraged lovers and friends to focus on the joy of companionship, not the endless pursuit of more.Epicurus on Friendship as the Foundation of LoveEpicurus placed immense importance on friendship, seeing it as the cornerstone of all meaningful relationships. He argued that a loving relationship thrives when it is built on mutual respect, understanding, and trust.In romantic or familial bonds, Epicurus’ teachings suggest that true love is less about passion and more about the security and reliability partners provide each other. The confident knowledge that your partner or friend is there for you, as Epicurus wrote in Letter to Menoeceus, forms the bedrock of lasting emotional connection.Epicurus on Avoiding Jealousy and DesireEpicurus warned that excessive desire and jealousy are destructive to love and relationships. Obsessing over perfection or material signs of affection creates tension and unhappiness. Instead, he advocated for moderation, mindfulness, and appreciating the present.In relationships, applying Epicurus’ philosophy means cultivating calm, thoughtful affection. Simple acts, like listening, sharing experiences, or expressing gratitude, can provide more lasting happiness than grandiose gestures or fleeting passions.Epicurus on Simple Joys in LoveEpicurus consistently taught that happiness in love comes from simplicity. Whether it’s a shared meal, a quiet conversation, or enjoying each other’s company, the small, everyday pleasures form the heart of meaningful connections.Couples and friends who embrace this philosophy often experience less conflict, deeper trust, and greater satisfaction. Epicurus reminds us that love is not measured by wealth, status, or extravagance but by the quality of emotional engagement and shared joy.Epicurus’ Timeless Advice for Modern RelationshipsIn a world where relationships are often measured by social media, gifts, or appearances, Epicurus’ advice remains profoundly relevant. Contentment, trust, and appreciation, rather than unending desire, create lasting happiness in love.By following Epicurus’ teachings, modern couples and friends can cultivate fulfilling, stable, and joyous relationships, proving that the wisdom of this ancient philosopher is timeless.

As La Niña is ending, signs of El Niño emerge for California Added: Feb 12, 2026
La Niña is fading, as El Niño appears. Here's what California can expect.
Site: SFGATE
Rules for classifying the two patterns recently changed.
La Niña, the seasonal climate pattern that emerged last fall, will likely fade out soon. There is a 60% chance that the current La Niña conditions, which bring a cascade of global weather impacts, will end between February and April, the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center reported on Thursday. This waning La Niña may not have major impacts on California’s weather during the rest of the winter. “Because this is a very weak event at this point, it’s certainly possible that other factors could overwhelm the influence of La Niña in California,” Nathaniel Johnson, a meteorologist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, told SFGATE. La Niña is the cool phase of a pattern that brews across the tropical Pacific Ocean, called the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, or ENSO. During La Niña events, strong trade winds result in below-average surface temperatures in those waters, while the other phase — El Niño — brings weaker winds that lead to warmer ocean conditions. The pattern alternates irregularly every two to seven years. Typically, La Niña signals a drier-than-average winter in Southern California — but gives equal chances of a rainy, normal or parched season for much of the northern part of the state, including the Bay Area. Although the early winter’s heavy rainfall throughout California came as somewhat of a surprise, it’s not yet clear if it’s truly been an abnormal season. “It’s still [too] soon to tell,” Michelle L’Heureux, a climate scientist at the Climate Prediction Center, wrote to SFGATE. “This is because the main influence of El Nino/La Nina tends to be on the January-March and February-April seasons.” Looking ahead, the latest data shows most of California, especially the southern part, trending toward drier and warmer weather than normal through April. After a very dry January, this week did welcome some rain, however. “There is some precipitation ahead in the near-term forecast ... but it’s too soon to know how much that will change the 3-month average that we evaluate ENSO impacts on,” L’Heureux added. Once La Niña fades out, it’s probably only a matter of time before the opposite weather phenomenon of El Niño develops. Already, there’s an up to 60% chance that El Niño will form later this summer, according to the Climate Prediction Center’s latest forecast. Although this general guideline may be outdated, El Niño tends to bring wetter winter conditions to California. The method for classifying El Niño and La Niña is also changing. As of Feb. 1, NOAA adopted a new index that accounts for climate change. — As La Niña is ending, signs of El Niño emerge for California— California skier dies at Tahoe ski resort— Locals outraged as court OKs Skunk Train's eminent domain request— In the 1990s, he made millions off 'Dilbert.'
