We recently learned that Steve Jobs was planning to tear down his 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival mansion and build a more modest domicile in its place. Still, the plans for the new home are striking, and the price tag ($8.45 million) is nothing to sneeze at.

On the flipside, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he rents his comparatiely humble house.

How large do other major players of the tech industry live?
