Mark Zuckerberg Now The 3rd-richest Person Alive by prof2007: 2:32am On Jun 07, 2020
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 3 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 3 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.

Most tech companies have benefited greatly thanks to their forward thinking and innovation... Take zoom for example, zoom was almost unknown before d global lockdown but d need to continue doing businesses at home and keep in touch has soared its shares and value.. Same with other networking companies

The sad reality about life is that even if you are paid $5000 from the day Jesus was born till this day, you can't be as rich as Jeff bezos.

Go do your maths and weep at the inequality of life
