Mark Zuckerberg is now world’s second-richest person

With a net worth of $206 billion — driven higher by a recent rally in the Facebook parent company’s stock — Zuckerberg passed Amazon (AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos to clinch the No. 2 spot Friday.

Most of Zuckerberg’s wealth comes from his roughly 13% stake in Meta, according to Bloomberg. Zuckerberg added $3.43 billion to his fortune in the past day and has grown his wealth by $78.1 billion this year so far.

Meanwhile, shares of Meta are up 69% year-to-date, trading at $585.83 apiece as of Friday morning. The company has a market valuation of $1.48 trillion.

Bezos’ net worth was $205 billion as of Friday. The Blue Origin–owner’s wealth fell 1.5% Friday, shaving $2.62 billion from his net worth.

Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Elon Musk are currently the only three people in the world to have a net worth of more than $200 billion. Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH (MC) who holds the fourth-place spot on the Bloomberg index, is valued at $193 billion.
