Meta CEO become a 2nd richest person in the world...

Mark Zuckerberg’s wallet keeps getting fatter.

The Meta CEO is now the second-richest person in the world, overtaking Jeff Bezos and Bernard Arnault.

With a personal fortune of $US206 billion ($303 billion), according to recent figures from Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index, he now only trails Elon Musk.

Recent figures from Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index show Zuckerberg has grown his personal fortune by a whopping $US78.1 billion ($114.9 billion) in 2024.

He joins an elusive US$200 billion ($294 billion) club that only counts two other members.

That includes Musk ($376 billion), the CEO of Tesla and X, and Bezos ($301 billion), the founder of Amazon. Arnault, the CEO of luxury brand LVMH, recently dropped out of the club, with a fortune of $US193 billion ($283 billion).

Zuckerberg, 40, who launched Facebook in 2004, has much of his wealth tied to Meta Platforms stock.

Shares of Meta (META) have surged by more than 72 per cent in 2024.

On Friday, Meta shares gained 2.26 per cent to close at a record high of $US595.94 ($875).
