Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of Facebook, is now the third richest person in the world with a fortune estimated at 69.4 billion euros, surpassing the famous investor Warren Buffet, reported Friday Bloomberg. The proliferation of polemics – from the case of ultra-viral "fake news" disseminated by Russian bots during the 2016 US presidential election to the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018 – clearly did not hinder Facebook's march forward, whose Much of the future depends on the trust that its users place in it.
Mark Zuckerberg's website saw a jump of 2.4% on Friday. The social network is now valued at about 486 billion euros, according to the billionaires index of the US agency.
Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, has a fortune estimated at around 69 billion euros. The CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, and the co-founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, still hold the top positions in the ranking, with respectively a fortune of 121 billion euros and 80 billion euros. This is the first time that the three richest people in the world have made a fortune in technology. Far behind, Larry Page, co-founder of Google, came in ninth place with a net worth of 543 million euros, followed by his sidekick, Sergey Brin, with 464.5 million euros.
