Move over, Warren Buffett: Mark Zuckerberg is now
the third-richest person in the world.

The Facebook CEO jumped ahead on Friday with a
net worth of $81.6 billion, according to calculations
by Bloomberg. That put him about $373 million in
front of Buffett, the legendary investor and Berkshire
Hathaway ( BRKA ) CEO.

Zuckerberg claimed the No. 3 spot on the Bloomberg
Billionaires Index because Facebook ( FB) shares
rose 2.4%. The stock has spiked about 15% this year.
For the first time, the three richest people alive are
all tech titans. Amazon's Jeff Bezos, worth about
$141 billion, is first, followed by Microsoft ( MSFT )
founder Bill Gates, according to the Bloomberg
index.

Tech stocks have been a bright spot in a sometimes
volatile market this year. Netflix ( NFLX ) has more
than doubled, Amazon ( AMZN) has surged 46%,
Apple ( AAPL ) is up about 11%, and Google ( GOOG)
has gained 9%.

Lindsey Bell, an investment strategist with CFRA
Research, said last month that she expects tech
stocks to help lead the market higher over the next
year.

Buffett is betting on tech, too. Berkshire Hathaway
bought about 75 million shares of Apple stock during
the first three months of the year, adding to the 165
million shares it already had. He was relatively late to tech. Buffett didn't report his first purchase of Apple shares until two years ago. Now Apple is one of Berkshire's largest holdings.

Buffett gives billions of dollars to charity every year.
Zuckerberg has pledged to give away 99% of his
Facebook shares.
