Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg Overtakes Elon Musk in Billionaire Battle for Top Spot on Bloomberg Index

Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are currently locked in a fierce competition for the top spot on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. With Zuckerberg now ranked as the third richest person in the world, surpassing Musk for the first time since 2020. The Meta CEO’s reported net worth is $187 billion, while Musk has fallen to fourth place with a fortune of $181 billion.

The rivalry between these two tech titans goes beyond just their wealth, dating back to 2016 when a SpaceX explosion destroyed a Facebook satellite. In addition, Musk even challenged Zuckerberg to a cage fight at one point. Their ongoing competition is only fueled by the launch of Threads by Meta, a social media platform that rivals X.

Despite this intense competition, Zuckerberg’s wealth continues to grow, getting him closer and closer to Jeff Bezos’ net worth of $207 billion. The top spot on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index is currently held by LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, with a fortune of $223 billion. It remains to be seen how this billionaire battle will unfold as both Zuckerberg and Musk continue their relentless pursuit of dominance in their respective industries.
