What does Mark Zuckerberg drive?
According to an article in the automotive magazine Auto Evolution, Mark Zuckerberg drives a Cadillac CT5 V-Blackwing every day. Zuckerberg revealed this information while introducing the Meta Ray-Ban feature, which records where drivers park their cars and tells them where their vehicle is located if they forget.
A social media user commented asking the CEO, “So what is Zack driving?” Mark replied, “These days it’s all about the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.” The social media comments date back to 2024, but it is known that Zuckerberg drove the CT5-V Blackwing at least daily for a period of time before potentially switching to another vehicle.
The billionaire owns multiple cars and has the means to purchase any production car, including models from Rolls-Royce, Bugatti, and Pagani. What’s so great about the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, and why is it so appealing to Meta Platform CEOs?
