He immediately turned around and sold more than 41 million shares while turning over 18 million, worth almost $1 billion at the time, to his favorite charity, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
BigBitz: Yeah that was the second cash out - he did $3Bn this year I am almost certain.
pete_dushenski: "While Zuckerberg will end up pocketing $33 million, his overall stake in Facebook is barely changing, and he’s donating $1 billion to charity."
BigBitz: So I guess he has cashed out over $5Bn.

The20YearIRCloud: One house I worked with sold at $155k and was over 6,000 finished square feet, came with a full granite wet bar in the basement with a walking sauna
The20YearIRCloud: Not all areas like that - In our area, $175k-$200k will get you 3000-4000 finished square feet
The20YearIRCloud: The last house we bought was $23k, and it is in fantastic shape - New electric, new plumbing, ~1200sf and the woodwork throughout is from 1890
The20YearIRCloud: Most people I've talked to don't have the cash outlay to fix say a $4k roof when the time comes, and they make the choice of renting so someone else has to deal with it.
The20YearIRCloud: asciilifeform: in our area, the median home value is around $100k, most of the properties we have are worth around $75k or so after rehab, so they're not really bad houses. Most of our renters have small-ish incomes and they don't want to mess with repairs
