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.
