In only three years, Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: META) has allocated $43.4 million toward its CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s personal security expenses. However, Zuckerberg’s foundation has been providing substantial financial support to activist groups advocating defunding the police, investigative journalist Lee Fang reported on Friday. 

According to a Meta’s corporate disclosure filed with the SEC, Zuckerberg received $13.4 million in personal security expenses in 2020, followed by $15.1 million in 2021 and a further $14.8 million last year, resulting in a total expenditure of $43.4 million on security during this period.
