Is it possible to fathom a fortune that eclipses the gross domestic product of entire nations? Mark Zuckerberg's financial trajectory in 2024 has defied expectations, becoming a subject of intense speculation and awe.

The dramatic fluctuations in Zuckerberg's wealth are inextricably linked to the performance of Meta, the tech behemoth he helms. In 2022, Meta's stock price plummeted to a historic low of $90.79, dragging Zuckerberg's net worth down to $57.7 billion. However, the narrative shifted dramatically in 2024. Zuckerberg's net worth soared, with estimates placing it between $164 billion and $219 billion by the end of the year. This surge can be attributed to Meta's resurgence, fueled by advances in artificial intelligence and increased user engagement across Facebook and Instagram. Zuckerberg himself highlighted these improvements at the Meta Connect 2024 event on September 25, proclaiming that Meta AI is on track to become the most widely used assistant globally. Indeed, Meta shares have been up around 65% this year.
