Mark Zuckerberg has overtaken Jeff Bezos to become the second richest person in the world.
The Meta CEO and Facebook founder has a net worth of $225 billion, edging ahead of Bezos’ $223 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Both men still trail Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose net worth was valued at $370 billion as of Wednesday.
Zuckerberg has increased his net worth by $17.3 billion since the beginning of 2025, while the rest of the top four—Musk, Bezos, and Oracle founder Larry Ellison—have all seen losses.
Zuckerberg’s net worth largely comes from his personal stake in Meta. He owns roughly 13 percent of the tech company’s stock, which is up nearly nine percent year to date and closed Wednesday at $635.50 per share.
