Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg New 7 Million Dollar House

Posted: 08 Sep 2011 12:55 PM PDT

26 year old Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, who had been renting for years which was a huge topic of discussion because he could afford to buy has finally purchased a home in Palo Alto California. He is reported to have paid $7 million for a home in Palo Alto, California.

But after looking at photos of Mark Zuckerberg's new house, I can't help but ask: Is it worth $7 million? The 5,617 square feet home includes 5 bedrooms and 5 baths, a banquet-size dining room, a music alcove and glassed-in porch. The backyard has a saltwater pool, a spa, an outdoor gazebo with a wood-burning fireplace and a carport. But 7 million dollars? I'm no real estate expert but, from the looks of it, the house does not look like a seven million dollar home.

The mansion was built in 1866.

It seems like every day we hear about another ridiculous lawsuit.
Although the worst of them (such as the man who tried to sue himself) usually don't go anywhere, the sad truth is that the USA is the most litigious nation in the world, and we waste huge sums of money on the system that supports our lawsuit addiction. But is it really a handful of greedy people who are to blame, or does the problem go deeper?
