Mark Zuckerberg Net worth: Co-founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has surpassed Microsoft’s Bill Gates to become the fourth richest person in the world. With an increase in wealth of $28.1 billion, Zuckerberg has reclaimed this position once again. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth has reached $170 billion. Preceding him in the list of the wealthiest are Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Bernard Arnault. Bill Gates has slipped to the fifth position with a net worth of $145 billion.
According to a report by Bloomberg, after Meta’s quarterly results exceeded Wall Street expectations by more than 20%, its shares experienced an approximate 20% growth. This surge has led to an increase in Mark Zuckerberg’s total wealth to $28.1 billion. Zuckerberg’s wealth had dropped below $35 billion at the end of 2022 due to a decline in technology stock prices caused by inflation and interest rate increases. Zuckerberg stands to benefit further as he is expected to receive around $700 million annually from Meta’s first-ever dividend as a shareholder.
Mark Zuckerberg Faces ‘Death’ Threat
Meta Annual Report: Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has presented its annual report, revealing that Mark Zuckerberg leads a risky lifestyle that could prove fatal. This information might sound strange, but let’s delve into the details.
Why is Mark Zuckerberg at risk of death?
Meta annually releases its annual report, and this time, the company has stated something that has surprised the world. The report mentions that Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, and some other executives engage in activities in their lifestyle that involve significant risks, such as extreme sports, compact sports, and recreational aviation, among others.
These activities carry a considerable risk of serious injury or death. The social media giant states that its founder has a passion for competitive fighting, which resulted in him suffering an injury last year, leading to surgery on his torn ligament.
Share Price Soars Dramatically
Meta’s report further states, “If Mr. Zuckerberg becomes unavailable for any reason, it could have a significant adverse impact on our (Meta’s) operations.” Mark Zuckerberg’s interest in mixed martial arts is growing, as he undergoes training with former professionals in mixed martial arts. Last year, he even discussed a potential match with Elon Musk, although it did not materialize as Musk was reportedly not interested in the proposal.
However, it’s important to note that the number of deaths due to mixed martial arts is not very high. So far, only 20 deaths related to mixed martial arts have been reported. After Meta’s report, the company’s shares experienced a significant surge. According to Bloomberg’s report, on Friday alone, the company accumulated $200 billion in its coffers, marking the highest amount added by any company in a single day.
