Mark Zuckerberg Overtakes Michael Dell as Fifth Richest Amid Dell Stock Selloff
Mark Zuckerberg reclaimed the position of the world's fifth-richest person on July 20, 2026, surpassing Michael Dell as shares in Dell Technologies continued to decline. Dell's stock fell 3.3% on Monday, extending an 8.8% slide from the previous week and an over 18% drop since hitting an all-time high of $469 on June 1. Michael Dell, who holds about 265.7 million shares, saw his net worth drop by $2 billion to $221.1 billion, placing him just below Zuckerberg's $222.1 billion fortune. Despite the recent selloff, Dell shares have surged 200% year-to-date, driven by AI infrastructure demand. Dell reported an 88% revenue surge and 757% AI server revenue growth, with annual sales expectations topping $60 billion. President Donald Trump, a recent shareholder, has urged investors to buy Dell. Both companies have upcoming earnings reports: Dell next month and Meta next week.
