Such is the wealth of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg that he has managed to lose a staggering US$420 million in just one week as Facebook shares continued their steady tumble. Starting at around US$38, the shares climbed to above US$40 very briefly before beginning the fall. At the current time of writing, a share in the social media company would set you back just US$21.09. Either it is quickly becoming a very hot stock option, or this is a slice of a pie that no one wants a taste of.
All in all, it brings Zuckerberg’s estimated wealth down to a mere US$10.2 billion, which drops him out of the top 10 richest technology billionaire list, according to ITPro. By my calculations that means Trev almost has as much money as Zuckerberg, although I may have left off a zero somewhere in my calculations.
The pressure is now on Zuckerberg to keep his star shining, as technology wünder kid and partner Sean Parker managed to do as his reputation got put through the laundry post-Napster. Whichever way you look at it, it will be a long time until Marky Mark can compare to the US$61 billion of Bill Gates.
