The Bloomberg Billionaire Index keeps a track on wealthiest people and updates on a daily basis. Zuckerberg witnessed a splendid rise of $78 billion which is the largest among 500 richest people. The Meta CEO has a stake of 13% and it has established him today as the world’s second richest person in the Bloomberg index. 

Meta’s shares witnessed a rise of 70% in 2024 and it helped him in his increasing personal wealth after the investors too showed interest in the company’s stock. The company, of late, laid off over 2000 employees which is also being seen as a major factor for the company in recovering from the past jolts. 

Now, Zuckerberg is behind Tesla’s Elon Musk who is ahead of him with $50 billion.
