In a remarkable achievement for the tech industry, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has attained a net worth of $200 billion, making him the third richest person in the world.
This significant milestone highlights his influence and success in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Zuckerberg’s wealth primarily stems from his 13% stake in Meta, which encompasses Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and generated $134.9 billion in revenue in 2023.
In 2024, Zuckerberg’s fortune surged by $71.8 billion, driven by a nearly 60% rise in Meta’s stock price, which exceeded $560 per share. The company currently trades at about 24 times forward earnings, attracting strong investor interest.
During the Meta Connect 2024 event, Zuckerberg announced that Meta AI is close to becoming the world’s most widely used assistant, boasting nearly 500 million monthly active users. Other tech leaders, such as Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Oracle’s Larry Ellison, have also experienced significant wealth gains this year.
