Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth has climbed to a figure that only two other billionaires in the United States 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.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, had a net worth of $265 billion as of Monday, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index showed Tuesday. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos ranked No. 2 at $216 billion.

The corporate parent of Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and Threads has seen a nearly 62.5% increase in its stock price year to date. That has helped push its market capitalization to $1.42 trillion as of Tuesday.
