According to Forbes, the 37-year-current old’s net worth is $84.3 billion, the first time he hasn’t been one of the world’s top ten richest people since the summer of 2015. Zuckerberg owns approximately 13% of Meta, which rebranded from Facebook lately.

Zuckerberg’s $29.8 billion loss is the second-largest single-day loss in history, after only Elon Musk’s $35 billion loss in November after tweeting about selling 10% of his Tesla stock. According to Bloomberg, Musk’s net worth dropped by $25.8 billion last week.

Meta’s shares dropped after the business warned of weaker-than-expected revenue growth in the next quarter and indicated that Apple’s recent privacy measures will cost the company $10 billion, according to CNBC.

The pair has stated that they will donate 99% of their stock.

In addition, Zuckerberg announced in 2020 that he will donate $300 million to safeguard American elections, with $250 million going to the Center for Tech and Civic Life and an extra million going to the Center for Election Innovation & Research.
