Having said that, Facebook spent a whopping amount of over 23.4 million dollars on Mark Zuckerberg’s personal security and accounted for that under the CEO’s protection costs.

Technology executives such as Zuckerberg, Amazon founder- Jeff Bezos, Apple CEO- Tim Cook among several others are all wanted men, it seems when we look at their personal security costs. However, it is of utmost importance to protect high-profile individuals and tech executives because of the work that they are involved in.

As mentioned in a report by Engadget, a new analysis of security expenses shows that top-tier big tech giants have spent over USD 46 million in total to safeguard and protect their asset founders and CEOs., out of which USD 23.4 million alone was spent on Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

The company accounted this figure for the increasing COVID-19 norms and additional protection during U.S. elections, according to Engadget.

Facebook is cautious with its actions and security is one attribute that cannot be compromised at any cost. Mark Zuckerberg is cautious with his security and the security of the company’s COO Sheryl Sandberg who is in second place with a personal security expense of USD 7.6 million in 2020.

11 technology elites have been listed in the security expenses list:
