Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has surpassed Jeff Bezos to become the world’s second richest person, with a net worth of $206.2 billion.
Zuckerberg saw a massive $78 billion increase in 2024, driven by Meta's 70% stock surge, thanks to strong performance in its ad business. He now trails Elon Musk by around $50 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Zuckerberg’s 13% stake in Meta has been a key factor in his rapid rise this year, gaining four spots on the wealth index. Bezos' net worth is currently $205.1 billion.
