Mark Zuckerberg strikes deal to pay California billionaire tax while keeping control of Meta

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has arranged a deal to pay California's proposed 5% billionaire tax on his $240 billion wealth by creating a new class of shares he can sell more easily. This move allows him to stay in California and comply with the tax without losing control of Meta. The tax would amount to about $12 billion. This strategy is seen as a smart way for Zuckerberg to manage his tax obligations while maintaining his leadership role at the company.

Meta Platforms trades at USD 647.29 on Pluang as of Oct 23, 2026 00:02 WIB, down 7.20% in one day. The stock's market cap stands at $1.78 trillion with a 0.3% dividend yield.
