I can’t recall exactly how much we spent on personal security last year, but it was defintely less that 27 million. Of course, no one wants to kill me. That I know of.
Meta Paid $26.8 Million For Mark Zuckerberg’s Security In 2021
Mark Zuckerberg’s security is soon going to have its own line item in the company’s financial statements. That’s because it cost Meta nearly $27 million last year just to keep the company’s founder and CEO safe, according to a new report from Protocol.
$26.8 million was spent on Zuckerberg, including on protecting the CEO’s family and houses. The figure includes $10 million that was spent for his personal security allowance and $1.6 million that was spent for his private jet.
Zuck’s tab for security this year was about 6% higher from 2020, when the company spent $23.4 million on the CEO. We guess now, the company doesn’t only have to protect him in the real world, but in the metaverse too?

Zuckerberg is “synonymous” with the company, Meta wrote in its filing, marking its reasoning for spending so much on his well being. The filing called him one of the “most recognized” executives in the world and said that “any negative sentiment regarding the company goes back to him”.
The filing also cited Meta’s “continued exposure to global media, legislative and regulatory attention.”
Starting next year, the company will also be paying for a private jet that is owned by Zuckerberg, the report says.
“For travel by Mr. Zuckerberg on the aircraft owned by Mr. Zuckerberg, we pay an amount commensurate with market rates,” the filing said.

Own Meta stock? That’s your money he’s spending, and by the way if you own Meta, tough s**t!
What’s he so afraid of? A guy doing that much good in the world shouldn’t need any security.
Hostage to fortune & one way or another the ransom gets paid. But it’s the queues around the block “operators” salivating after the ill gotten gains that more than double the ills. “It’s your world, bosshole – I just want to jump into it, please.”
As a CCPOWB I’m way more hated by the world than he is and I make do with a policy from Ruger,Mossberg Inc.
Conservative, Christian, Poor old White Boy.
I don’t buy the security budget schtick at all. I also do not believe Zuckerberg is a real person. If he is an actual human being is most likely a character playing a role. My .02
Somewhat of a very good first point.
It makes me wonder what the moneys really used for.
Easy way to buy friends.
I would imagine that a few hundred million worldwide at least would not shed a single tear if this POS was dead. How many would go the extra step to actually go after him is clearly a much smaller subset of that group.
Novel for sure. a chinese tranny
$27mm. He can still be gotten to. And for a hell of a lot less money too.
Wait till that parent who is trained finds out his kid has been targeted and groomed on pedometa.
The illusion of safety lol.
ZFG, out.
It’s already happening. Count on it.
Its a BIG crew they got, with lots of toys.
26mil is not that much all things considered.
Figure 4 crews of knuckle draggers, one on off roto, three others rotating through , night, day, and advance/QRF duties, then sections dedicated to med, comms, logistics, maintenance, arms room, EW.
Figure almost the same as an infantry company with a battalions level of support platoons.
You can’t get guys that are going to be on the level you want cheap. Start at a grand a day for just a trigger puller and work you way up for team leaders, detail leaders, project leader, etc.
Good job if you can get it.
Seems like a lot but I had friends who where part of crews that just watched Saudi prince’s race horses. 10 guys to give a horse 24hr day security while it got flown around the world to run in circles.
Must suck to be so hated.
Hey, don’t put yourself down. I’m sure you are at least stab-worthy.
So … anyone check out to see where that money is actually going?
Sounds like just a fancy word for money laundering …
What’s the big deal if he gets offed.? There’s always another version waiting on deck. Use the 27 mil to clean up the discarded batteries from Musk’s electric vehicles.
