Mark Zuckerberg was able to increase his wealth – and is now richer than Jeff Bezos, but not quite as rich as Elon Musk.
Mark Zuckerberg (40) is catching up: The Meta boss’s fortune is currently estimated at 206 billion dollars (around 187 billion euros) – more than he ever had. For the first time, Zuckerberg is now the second richest person in the world.
The only richer person is Tesla boss Elon Musk (53), who remains at number 1 on the list with an estimated fortune of $256 billion (around €232 billion). Behind Zuckerberg in third place is now Amazon boss Jeff Bezos (60), who is currently said to have a fortune of 205 billion dollars (186 billion euros).
Zuckerberg made $78 billion in one year
Zuckerberg probably owes his new position to the above-average price gains of meta shares. This meant he was able to increase his wealth by around $78 billion (around €71 billion) this year, more than any other person on the list.
Incidentally, the first woman in the ranking only comes in 18th place. This is the entrepreneur and Walmart heiress Alice Walton (74), whose assets are currently $99.9 billion, which corresponds to around 91 billion euros.
