Mark Zuckerberg’s Net Worth Surpasses $200 Billion Due to Successful Metaverse Investment

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, has seen his wealth increase significantly over the past two years, with shares of Meta trading at near record highs and up 60% this year.

Initially, Zuckerberg’s bet on the metaverse seemed like a mistake, causing his net worth to drop by over US$100 million when he first announced it. However, it has proven to be a lucrative decision as Meta Platforms Inc’s share price continues to climb.

With Meta’s share price at an all-time high, Zuckerberg’s net worth has soared to over US$200 billion, surpassing the US$200 billion mark for the first time. He now ranks as the fourth richest person in the world, behind Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Bernard Arnault.
