Zuckerberg’s fortune is estimated at $206 billion, Bezos’s at $205 billion. The first place on the list is occupied by Elon Musk with a fortune of 256 billion dollars.
Since the beginning of 2024, according to BBI, Zuckerberg’s fortune has increased by $78 billion. This occurred against the backdrop of Meta shares reaching a record value of $582.77.
As Bloomberg notes, “Zuckerberg’s bet on the metaverse, which initially seemed like a huge failure, has paid off in recent months.”
