With a net worth of $202 billion, the Meta CEO is currently the third richest person in the world.

Mark Zuckerberg has earned the most wealth globally in 2024 so far.
It’s worth noting that not long ago, Mark Zuckerberg had significantly dropped in the list of the world’s richest people.
In 2022, due to his commitment to developing the Metaverse, Zuckerberg suffered massive financial losses.
At one point, his wealth declined by more than $100 billion, and he fell out of the top 10 richest people in the world.
By 2022, Zuckerberg’s wealth had plummeted to below $35 billion due to a sharp drop in Meta’s stock prices.
However, in 2023, Zuckerberg refocused on the real world, taking steps to reduce Meta’s expenses and concentrating more on Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.
These measures have so far proven beneficial for the company, with Zuckerberg’s wealth increasing by $73.5 billion this year.
