Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg is now a centibillionaire twice over! The 40-year-old has entered the exclusive $200 billion billionaire league, which includes only Tesla CEO Elon Musk ($265 billion) and Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos ($216 billion). As of writing this article, the toughest CEO in Silicon Valley is worth exactly $200 billion as per the Bloomberg Billionaire Index. It’s just mind-blowing that the 40-year-old has a net worth equivalent to New Zealand’s GDP ($250 billion), according to the IMF.
Zuckerberg, the biggest winner on this year’s list, saw his net worth balloon by an incredible $72.2 billion, surpassing Larry Ellison and Bernard Arnault, who now occupy the fourth and fifth positions, respectively. His rise to $200 billion this year was fueled mainly by Meta’s stock soaring almost 60%, reaching $560 a share. But it’s also worth noting that the MMA enthusiast was on a spending spree, proving the adage “You have to spend money to make money” true.
It’s only been a year since the Facebook co-founder began his splurging spree, acquiring the $300 million Launchpad superyacht, a $30 million support vessel named Wingman, a $141,000 Patek Philippe, and a $90,000 De Bethune Starry Varius.
To get a better understanding of just how immense $200 billion is, we crunched some numbers: even if the tech tycoon splurged $18 million every single day for the next 30 years, he would still hold onto his billionaire status with an eye-watering net worth of at least $2.89 billion.
Mark Zuckerberg, the largest shareholder of Meta with 345.5 million shares, saw his fortune soar from around $155 billion in 2023 to an awe-inspiring $200 billion in 2024, proving that whatever he’s doing is not just working, it’s propelling him to new heights.
