With a personal fortune of $206 billion, according to recent figures from Bloomberg\u2019s Billionaire Index, he now only trails Elon Musk.<\/p>\n<p>Recent figures from Bloomberg\u2019s Billionaire Index show Zuckerberg has grown his personal fortune by a whopping $78.1 billion in 2024. He joins an elusive $200 billion club that only counts two other members.<\/p>\n<p>That includes Musk ($256 billion), the CEO of Tesla and X, and Bezos ($205 billion), the founder of Amazon. Arnault, the CEO of luxury brand LVMH, recently dropped out of the club, with a fortune of $193 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Zuckerberg, 40, who launched Facebook in 2004, has much of his wealth tied to Meta Platforms stock. Shares of Meta (META) have surged by more than 72% in 2024. On Friday, Meta shares gained 2.26% to close at a record high of $595.94.<\/p>\n<p>Meta operates popular social media platforms Facebook, Instagram and Threads, as well as the instant messaging app WhatsApp.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on September 25 at the Meta Connect 2024 event, Zuckerberg said Meta AI is on track to become the most used assistant in the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re almost at 500 million monthly (active users), and we haven\u2019t even launched in some of the bigger countries yet,\u201d Zuckerberg said, referring to countries in the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>Zuckerberg isn\u2019t the only tech mogul to see a big jump in their fortune this year. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, and Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, have seen their net worths surge in 2024 by $63.5 billion and $55.9 billion, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Zuckerberg is the CEO of Meta Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg is now the second-richest person in the world, overtaking Jeff Bezos and Bernard Arnault.
