Highest earner of 2024: Mark Zuckerberg
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Mark Zuckerberg’s wealth increased by $55.6 billion this year, reaching $184 billion. Zuckerberg managed to become the third person on the list of the richest people in the world, overtaking Louis Vuitton boss Bernard Arnault.
Interestingly, NVIDIA boss Huang has attracted all the attention by rapidly increasing his wealth since the beginning of the year. However, with the decline in Nvidia shares in recent days, his wealth has decreased by $ 11.5 billion, dropping to a total of $ 94.2 billion. While Huang’s income this year remained at $ 50.2 billion, Zuckerberg surprised in the race.
So how did Mark Zuckerberg make this fortune? The answer is simple: Meta shares have skyrocketed. Meta shares have increased fivefold from their lows in 2022 to over $500, bringing the company’s market value to $1.3 trillion. Zuckerberg’s wealth has also peaked with this increase, thanks to his 13% stake in Meta.
It is said that behind Meta’s success lies artificial intelligence developments and cost control. The smart moves he made gave great confidence to investors that the company would be a leader in the technology and entertainment world. As a result, Zuckerberg became the brightest star of this year, despite all the criticism.
