Facebook has spent more than $16 million protecting Mark Zuckerberg and his
family in just five years after 'specific threats' to the 31-year-old. The firm
disclosed the staggering amount spent on security for Zuckerberg - the fourth
richest person in the world - in a regulatory filing on Wednesday.
It reveals that, in 2015, $5 million was invested in
bodyguards and other protective services to ensure the safety of its founder
and CEO.
The substantial sum is in fact a mark down from the $6.2
million spent on his security in 2014. The year before, he had $3.3
million-worth of security.
Millions have also been spent on private travel, as well
installing alarms in his $10 million home in San Francisco's well-heeled
Mission District.
Zuckerberg, who is worth $35.7 billion, has 16 bodyguards
working on rotation to protect him, his wife Priscilla, and their daughter
Maxima.
Though he famously earns a $1-a-year salary, he owns nearly
422 million shares of Facebook stock, which rakes in his millions.
