- Mark Zuckerberg's net worth is up $40.7 billion this year, leaving him worth $248 billion.
- Meta stock is on a record winning streak, boosting its market value to $1.78 trillion.
- Zuckerberg is third on Bloomberg's rich list, but only $12 billion behind Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Mark Zuckerberg is now $40 billion richer this year after Meta stock continued its record winning streak on Tuesday, closing higher for the 12th consecutive session.
Shares in the Facebook and Instagram owner have risen more than 17% this year on investor enthusiasm for its AI ambitions. Meta has added $235 billion to its value in the 12 sessions, valuing the company at almost $1.8 billion.

Both are behind Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who's worth $424 billion, but ahead of Oracle's Larry Ellison and LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault — worth $194 billion and $191 billion respectively.
The Meta CEO took second place for the first time in October 2024 when he was worth just $206 billion. Since then Tesla stock has surged, helping Musk widen the gap between his nearest rival.
Technology fortunes are volatile, so there is no guarantee Musk will always be on top of the rich list.
Similarly, Meta's winning streak is under threat, with the stock expected to open lower on Wednesday.
