Meta spent $26.8 million onsecurity andprivate jets forMark Zuckerberg in 2021, an SEC filing shows.- The Meta CEO's security costs doubled in 2018 and have been rising ever since.
It's an expensive job keeping Mark Zuckerberg safe.
Meta spent a record $26.8 million on security and private jets for Zuckerberg and his family in 2021, according to a $4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). That's up from $4 and $4.
Meta's filing didn't give details about what Zuckerberg's security arrangements involve. However, $4 reported in 2019 that Zuckerberg had 24/7 bodyguard protection, as well as access to an office with bullet-resistant glass and a panic button.
Since 2018, Zuckerberg's corporate security costs have outstripped other Big Tech executives by a wide margin. Meta's spending on Zuckerberg's security $4.
Meta said in the SEC filing that it spent more than $15.1 million on personal security for Zuckerberg in 2021, on top of a $10 million pre-tax allowance for security relating to both him and his family.
The company spent over $1.6 million on private air travel for Zuckerberg in 2021, Meta said in the filing. This was down slightly from the last few years: the company spent around $1.8 million in 2020 and $2.9 million in 2019.
It's not entirely possible to tell whether more is spent on Zuckerberg's security than other tech billionaires as some, including $4, do not disclose their security costs publicly.
