A 21-foot skiff has run out of fuel near Farragut Bay, Alaska, and a nearby cruise ship, Wilderness Legacy, has towed and refuelled it. Passengers have said the closer superyacht Launchpad — owned by Mark Zuckerberg — did not answer a Coast Guard marine assistance request; Meta says Launchpadcrew were on a different radio channel and the skiff was not in distress.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have acquired Strancally Castle in County Waterford, a 440-acre Gothic estate. The off-market deal, valued at roughly €20-30 million, will see the castle serve as a base during visits to Ireland, where Meta operates its EU headquarters. The purchase follows a pattern of tech billionaires buying Irish castles, underscoring Ireland’s appeal as a strategic base for global firms.
