October 4, Fineko/abc.az. Mark Zuckerberg's fortune has passed the $200 billion mark, according to Forbes. The founder of Meta surpassed Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in terms of wealth and took the 2nd place in the ranking.

ABC.AZ informs that for the first time, four billionaires with fortune of $200 billion or more entered the Forbes billionaires rating. The magazine estimated Zuckerberg's fortune at $200.8 billion.

Thus, he surpassed Bezos in the list (1.1 billion pounds), but still lags $50 billion behind the richest man in the world, Tesla owner Elon Musk.
Yesterday, the market value of Meta increased by 10% to $1.45 trillion, and the shares reached $582.77. This growth is linked with the fact that the company introduced its first augmented reality glasses called Orion and launched new artificial intelligence features for its services. 

Last month, Meta reported that company's artificial intelligence services are used by more than 400 million people per month.
