2024 was an excellent year for the billionaire geek everyone seemed to hate a while back. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, became the third richest person in the world and is the number one in terms of the amount of wealth gained over a one-year period.
Worth an estimated $206 billion, Zuck could buy whatever he wanted, and it'd probably still feel like getting a Starbucks in terms of the impact on his bank account. With this kind of money, he can even buy things that don't exist – things like Priscilla Chan's idea of a mom car slash the perfect minivan, a customized and van-ified Porsche.
Mark Zuckerberg was never the kind to show off on social media or to fall for the trappings of the billionaire life. There's been a decided shift recently, and it probably started with an idea of building a multi-million bunker on the island he owns and calls home.
In recent months, Zuckerberg bought himself a megayacht that was built for a sanctioned oligarch and a shadow yacht to accompany it, and he's also been sharing more personal content on the IG. Just last week, for example, he revealed his daily driver is a "Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing […] but sometimes [I drive] other things," leaving followers guessing about what these other things might be.
We now have an answer, even if it's only partial. Zuck bought himself a Porsche GT3 Touring with a manual transmission, and he made sure his wife Priscilla got her own Porsche so they could play the billionaire game of his-and-hers cars.
The twist here is that Priscilla "wanted a minivan," and since Porsche doesn't make one, they had to find a way that they did. In partnership with Porsche's Sonderwunsch special request program and the team at West Coast Customs, and with direct creative input from Zuck himself, they turned a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT SUV into a minivan. It's the only one in the world, and as commenters are pointing out, it might just elevate the mom car game to whole new heights.
The minivan has a lengthened chassis and sliding doors, and it's painted in the same shade of gray (called Crayon) as Mark's GT3. The Facebook founder included photos and videos of Priscilla's reaction in a carousel he posted to his socials, but he didn't offer any look inside. We dare assume that both vehicles share the same interior styling or at least have similar styling cues.
The matching Porsches are pictured inside the WWC shop in California. Zuckerberg tagged both Porsche and WWC in the caption but, as of this writing, WWC is yet to share the post on their feed - or, for that matter, to offer more details into the build, as they've done in the past with other famous clients.
Then again, $206 billion buys this kind of secrecy.
