Allegedly, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg bought a house in New York for $22.3 million. If the information is confirmed, he will become a neighbor of the former president of the social network, Sean Parker.
Apparently, Zuckerberg became the mysterious buyer of a townhouse in the prestigious West Village district of Manhattan at 157 West 12th Street, the Observer writes, citing documents at the disposal of journalists. The purchase of the house was processed through the Swiss company Michael P. Stewart, and the contract was signed by the agency manager, who had already completed the purchase of the Facebook founder's house in Palo Alto. In addition, the same manager helped Zuckerberg's sister, Randy Zuckerberg, sell her house this June for $6.55 million. All this indicates that the Facebook founder bought the house, although it is possible that someone also became the owner of the prestigious property. then another of the Silicon Valley heavyweights.

The publication notes that Zuckerberg, who previously announced the expected addition to the family, would do well to have a house in New York, where he could stay while visiting local offices. In addition, Zuckerberg's new home is in close proximity to the home of former Facebook president Sean Parker.
According to the publication, the previous owner bought this house, built in 1899, in 2004 for $3.4 million and began to repair it. Perhaps somewhere here is buried that premium of $ 19 million, which the current owner pays from above for the house. In addition, the house was not put up for public sale. In any case, the publication notes, such a purchase is not capable of making a significant hole in the budget of Zuckerberg, whose fortune is estimated at $ 38.6 billion.
In 2014, Zuckerberg bought 357 acres (about 150 hectares) of land on the coastal strip of the island of Kauai, which is part of the Hawaiian archipelago. Prior to this, the founder of the social network “for several million dollars” bought several apartments in an ultra-luxury condominium called ONE Ala Moana in the city of Honolulu on the island of Oahu. In 2013, he bought four lots that surrounded his San Francisco home for $43 million. He planned to rent out the houses located on the plots.

Zuckerberg showed his “smart home” on the Web
The founder of one of the most popular social networks and one of the richest people on the planet, Mark Zuckerberg is famous for never being satisfied with what has been achieved and always moving even further. He never ceases to amaze the public with a variety of inventions that he willingly shares with others. So, recently on his page on the Internet, he shared a video in which he clearly outlined his new creation - the "smart home" system.

Zuckerberg paid $7 million for the house.
For his "corner" in Palo Alto, Mark gave $ 7,000,000. Until some time, no one knew exactly where the gifted billionaire lives. But then a local developer decided to buy up the houses that surrounded Zuckerberg's home in order to build luxury real estate and sell it to those who wanted to live next to the oligarch. In order to prevent such a neighborhood, Mark himself bought the houses, although he spent about $ 30,000,000 on it.

In the presentation, Zuckerberg clearly shows all the possibilities of his development. With the help of the program, the house can be controlled using text and voice commands of all residents. Artificial intelligence is able to control the daily routine of its owners, as well as, if necessary, plan their meetings. With the help of Jarvis, you can turn music and lights on and off, move the curtains open and close, for this you just need to say the appropriate command aloud.

The system is also endowed with feeling - at one point, Mark asked Jarvis to include some good Nickelback song, but he replied that they didn’t have any.

One of the distinguishing "highlights" of the "smart home" system performed by Zuckerberg is the ability to recognize the faces of guests who are standing on the threshold. It will not be difficult for Jarvis to keep an eye on small children, and in case of an emergency, call their parents.

At the end of the video, Mark explained that the program is not yet fully ready, so he invites everyone to indicate in the comments what else can be introduced into the system for its full development. In the future, Zuckerberg plans to bring "Jarvis" to the public domain.

Mark Zuckerberg is the founder of Facebook and one of the richest people in the world. He never rests on his laurels and every time surprises the public with his new inventions. Recently, Mark posted a presentation video on his Facebook page, in which he talked about his new invention - artificial intelligence for the smart home system. In the video, you can see several rooms of a young billionaire. Amazingly, Mark and his family live very modestly.
Mark Zuckerberg bought a modest house in Palo Alto for $7 million. For a long time it was not known exactly where the family of the young billionaire lives. However, one of the local developers wanted to buy houses in the neighborhood in order to build luxury housing in their place and sell them to rich people who would like to live near the founder of Facebook. To prevent this from happening, Zuckerberg had to buy neighboring houses for $30 million.
In the presentation video, Mark not only showed his house, but also talked about his invention. It is known that the development of an innovative system took a whole year. Mark named his "smart assistant" Jarvis, after the cyber butler from the Iron Man films.
In the video, the founder of Facebook demonstrates all the possibilities of Jarvis. The system allows you to control the house using voice or text commands of all members of the Zuckerberg family.
Artificial intelligence can schedule meetings and follow the daily routine. With simple voice commands, Jarvis can open curtains, turn on lights or turn on music.
Also, a smart assistant can prepare a simple breakfast, such as toast, or wake up children in the morning.
To show the full potential of artificial intelligence, Zuckerberg asked Jarvis to "play a good Nickelback song," but the "smart assistant" turned him down because "Nickelback doesn't have any good songs."
One of the main features of Jarvis is the ability to recognize the faces of visitors who stand at the doorstep of the house. Also, the “smart assistant” can monitor the movement of his little daughter and, in case of danger, warn parents.
At the end of the video, Zuckerberg noted that the system is not yet fully developed. He encouraged his subscribers in the comments to leave interesting ideas about its further development.
In the future, the head of Facebook intends to make this development public.
It is worth noting that the "smart home" system has long been successfully used in many residential buildings. Here, for example, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with But so far, unfortunately, not everyone can take advantage of this innovative invention, since it is quite expensive.
