Mark Zuckerberg overtakes Elon Musk in world’s rich list- Here are 10 wealthiest billionaires
Mark Zuckerberg is now the world’s third-richest person, having overtaken Elon Musk. This shift reflects a change in the fortunes of these tech leaders.
This is the first time since 2020 that Zuckerberg has been ranked higher than Musk on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Musk’s wealth has significantly decreased by $48.4 billion in 2024, while Zuckerberg’s wealth has increased by $58.9 billion.
Zuckerberg’s wealth has increased due to the performance of his Meta platforms, which own Facebook, fueled by people’s excitement about progress in artificial intelligence.
Meanwhile, Musk is facing serious challenges due to increased competition in the electric vehicle market, particularly from Chinese companies, which have dominated the industry that his company, Tesla, has led for years.
