Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's net worth hits $200 billion

Zuckerberg finds himself in select company with Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk

Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth has climbed to a figure that only two other billionaires in the U.S. have achieved. 

The Bloomberg Billionaires Index pegged the value of the Meta Platforms CEO’s personal fortune at $200 billion as of Monday. That represented a $1.06 billion increase from the prior trading day and a $72.2 billion jump from the start of the year, according to the index.

His net worth put him in the rare company of two other billionaires worth at least $200 billion.

A report from Informa Connect Academy projected earlier this month that Zuckerberg could become a trillionaire by the start of the next decade at his net worth’s yearly average rate of growth.

ELON MUSK COULD BECOME WORLD'S FIRST TRILLIONAIRE BY 2027

However, the organization identified Musk as the "clear favorite" to amass a 13-figure net worth before any other billionaires. He could achieve that by 2027, Informa Connect Academy said.

Zuckerberg has been a billionaire since 2008, according to reports.
