Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth exceeds $200 billion for the first time. As a result, the fourth richest person in the world is now this American technology businessman. Zuckerberg, the co-founder and CEO of Meta, a multinational company providing social media services, is widely known in the technology world as the co-founder of the popular social media platform Facebook. While his business is primarily social media-based services, Zuckerberg’s latest success comes from the Matter Orion AR (augmented reality) smartglasses.
Currently, Mark Zuckerberg’s wealth has increased to 201 billion US dollars (more than 24 lakh crores in Bangladeshi currency). And as a result, he has risen to fourth place among the 500 richest people in the world in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Only Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bernard Arnault are above Zuckerberg.
The company’s first augmented reality-based smartglasses were unveiled at the ‘Meta Connect 2024’ event last week. Orion AR Glass has already created a stir in the tech world. Naturally, this has had a positive impact on the stock market. Meta’s share price has seen a surge since the Orion Glass unveiling. And it goes without saying that Zuckerberg’s personal wealth in the stock market will also rise as a shareholder of the company if the rate of meta increases.
The company’s share price hit a record high on the first day of the Matter Connect event last Wednesday. Meta currently has a total market value of $1.44 trillion. In this year itself, the market price of the company has increased by 60 percent in the stock market. Zuckerberg’s personal wealth, which currently owns 13 percent of Meta, has also grown at a very fast pace. Zuckerberg’s net worth has increased to $73.4 billion this year. And in the past 2 years his personal wealth has increased 6 times!
The Orion AR smartglasses are a product of Zuckerberg’s ambitious Metaverse project. At one time, he had to face various criticisms regarding the Metaverse project. But this time, Metaverse seems to be seeing the face of success. And this success has positively reflected in the stock market wealth of Mater and Zuckerberg.
