Mark Zuckerberg is already the third richest person in the world

(CNN) – Move, Warren Buffett! Mark Zuckerberg is now the third richest person in the world.

The Facebook CEO made progress on Friday with a net worth of $ 81.6 billion, according to Bloomberg calculations. That put him close to $ 373 million ahead of Warren Buffett, the legendary investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.

Zuckerberg took third place in the Bloomberg Billionaires index as Facebook shares rose 2.4%. In total, its share has increased by 15% this year.

For the first time, the three richest people are all technological titans: Jeff Bezos of Amazon, worth about $ 141 billion, followed by the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, According to the Bloomberg Index

Technology stocks have been a bright spot in a sometimes volatile market this year. Netflix more than doubled, Amazon rose 46%, Apple grew 11% and Google 9%.

Lindsey Bell, investment strategist at CFRA Research, said last month that she expects technology stocks to help drive the market over the next year.

Buffett also relies on technology. Berkshire Hathaway bought about $ 75 million worth of Apple stock during the first three months of the year, in addition to the 165 million shares she already owned.

It was relatively late for technology. Buffett did not report his first purchase of Apple stock until two years ago. Now, Apple is one of the largest farms in Berkshire.

Buffett gives charities billions of dollars each year. Zuckerberg is committed to donating 99% of his shares on Facebook.
