The “foreigners” are the Frenchman Bernard Arnault, in fourth position, and the Spanish Amancio Ortega, who closes the Top with a fortune of 114,000 million dollars, thanks to his textile empire.

This is how Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune has grown

The CEO of Meta has been the person who has earned the most in 2024with an increase in fortune of no less than $78.1 billion.

The second is Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, who has earned 63.5 billion in 2024, and rises to number 13 among the richest, with 107 billion. Surely it won’t take long for him to surpass Amancio Ortega.

Mark Zuckerberg experienced his lowest moment after the pandemicwith the loss of Facebook users, and the failure of the metaverse.

But, as often happens when a company loses the trust of investors, Meta laid off 21,000 workers last year, to reduce expenses, while taking a turn towards artificial intelligence.

In the last two years it has presented language models such as Llama, and other AI proposals. And although it is still a little behind OpenAI and Google, it seems that it is worth it to investors: Meta shares have tripled in value since 2023.

The big unknown remains its mixed reality business, and the metaverse. At the recent Meta Connect 2024 it presented cheaper Meta Quest 3S glasses, and futuristic holographic glasses, which are still a prototype.

Mark Zuckerberg is already the second richest person in the world, with a fortune of $206 billion. AI smiles on him, like all the CEOs of the main technology companies associated with this new technology.
