Zuckerberg's fortunes come from his 13% stake in Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Forbes reports that Zuckerberg's wealth is $85 billion. The tech billionaire moved up one spot on the list and is ahead of India's Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest man, worth $82.5 billion. The 38-year-old splurges on Italian sports cars and Haiwain real estate despite reportedly leading a down-to-earth lifestyle. Zuckerberg lost $70 billion in 2022 Business Insider reports that his current fortune is in contrast to 2022, when his wealth plummeted by $70 billion in the first nine months of the year. The loss saw him slide down to the 20th wealthiest man in the world on Bloomberg's list in September last year. An industry-wide slump and his heavy investment in the metaverse also badgered Zuckerberg's wealth last year, which left him with $35 billion in net worth in November 2022.
