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.
