Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Meta, has officially become one of the wealthiest individuals in the world, joining the exclusive club of billionaires worth at least $200 billion...
At 40 years old, Zuckerberg is now the third-richest person globally, following Elon Musk ($265 billion) and Jeff Bezos ($216 billion). According to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, Zuckerberg's net worth currently stands at exactly $200 billion, placing him among the wealthiest people in history. This staggering amount is equivalent to the gross domestic product (GDP) of New Zealand ($250 billion).
Zuckerberg's wealth has surged this year due to a 60% rise in Meta's stock price, reaching $560 per share. His net worth increased by an astonishing $72.2 billion, making him the biggest gainer on the list this year. As he focused on artificial intelligence and Instagram's growing popularity, Zuckerberg surpassed Larry Ellison and Bernard Arnault, who now hold the fourth and fifth positions, respectively.
To grasp the scale of his fortune, imagine this—if Zuckerberg were to spend $18 million every day for the next 30 years, he would still remain a billionaire with a net worth of at least $2.89 billion. Beyond his business success, Zuckerberg has indulged in luxury purchases over the past year, acquiring the superyacht Launchpad for $300 million, a support vessel Wingman for $30 million, and luxury watches, including a $141,000 Patek Philippe and a $90,000 De Bethune Starry Varius.
Owning 345.5 million Meta shares, Zuckerberg continues to prove that his business strategies not only work but are propelling him to new financial heights.
