Zuckerberg's Stock Rebound Makes Him World's 5th Richest at $222 Billion

Mark Zuckerberg's net worth surged to $222.1 billion, making him the fifth-richest person globally, following a 21% rally in Meta Platforms stock that added roughly $270 billion in market capitalization. The rebound reversed a punishing June decline driven by investor frustration over Meta's unclear AI payoff. Two key catalysts fueled the rally: Meta's plan to build a cloud business selling excess AI computing power to external customers, and the announcement that Meta will begin manufacturing its custom 'Iris' AI chip in September, designed with Broadcom and manufactured by TSMC. Zuckerberg overtook Michael Dell, whose fortune slipped to $221.1 billion amid a Dell Technologies selloff. He now trails Elon Musk, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Jeff Bezos.
