Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has had a remarkable year in terms of earnings, surpassing some of the world's wealthiest individuals. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Zuckerberg earned approximately $50 billion (around Rs 4.20 lakh crore) this year. In comparison, Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani together did not earn as much as Zuckerberg. Nvidia's President, Jensen Huang, is the second-highest earner this year, with earnings of $46.4 billion. Zuckerberg is now the fourth richest person in the world.
Mark Zuckerberg's earnings this year outpaced the combined earnings of Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani. Ambani earned $14.2 billion this year, while Adani earned $15.3 billion, totaling $29.5 billion together. This is nearly $20 billion less than Zuckerberg's earnings.

In the last 24 hours, there has been a significant decline in the wealth of some of the world's richest people. Mukesh Ambani's wealth dropped by $2.14 billion, while Adani's wealth decreased by $1.57 billion due to a sharp decline in the stock market. On Friday, the stock market experienced a drop of over 1,000 points, leading to a decline in the shares of Ambani and Adani's companies, impacting their net worth.
Mukesh Ambani, India's and Asia's richest person, is ranked 11th on the list of the world's wealthiest individuals, with a net worth of $111 billion.
