Mark Zuckerberg's Net Worth Doubled Since Last Year

Mark Zuckerberg climbs back to the Forbes top 20 richest Americans

Mark Zuckerberg is once more in the top 20 on the Forbes’ list of the 400 richest Americans. The Facebook founder has a net worth of $19 billion (€14.2 billion), a lot bigger than last year’s $9.4 billion (€7,03 billion).  According to the list published by Forbes, Zuckerberg now ranks on the 20th spot, the same he took up in 2011, prior to Facebook’s IPO from May 2012. Zuckerberg not only climbed the ladder to the top of the list, but he can also brag with the second largest year-over-year net worth increase compared to anyone on the list. Last year he was the billionaire with the steepest drop in net worth. Of course, this entire up and down ride can be blamed on the Facebook stock. Last September, Facebook stock hit an all-time low, while just a few weeks ago, the same shares hit the all-time high.
