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.
