Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly secured a 30-year mortgage in 2012 at an interest rate just above 1%. However, he already had amassed a fortune of £12.63 billion ($16.9 billion) by that time.
Meanwhile, Jay-Z and Beyonce bought a £65.78 million ($88 million) mansion and took out a £39.47 million ($52.8 million) mortgage at 3.15%. While they could have paid it in full, the star couple had over £37.38 million ($50 million) in free cash to invest somewhere more profitable.
