Zuckerberg's net worth soared to $206.2 billion, propelled by Meta's stellar performance and strong investor confidence in the company's ambitious push into artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR).

The dramatic rise in Zuckerberg's fortune has been fuelled by a 23% increase in Meta’s stock price since its better-than-expected Q2 results.


The Bloomberg Billionaires Index is a daily ranking of the world's richest people. The figures are updated at the close of every trading day in the new york.

In 2024, Mark Zuckerberg's net worth surged by 78 billion dollars, the largest increase among the 500 wealthiest individuals, according to the Bloomberg Index. Zuckerberg holds a 13 percent stake in Meta, a Menlo Park-based company, which has significantly boosted his wealth and ranking on the index this year.


Zuckerberg, Meta's 40-year-old co-founder and CEO, has climbed four spots on the wealth index this year.
