Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune has climbed to $47billion,
according to a list of the richest people in the US under
the age of 40.
The Facebook CEO is more than four times wealthier than
the second richest on the top ten list – who happens to be
Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, with an estimated
worth of $9.7billion.
Zuckerberg was named number one in Forbes magazine’s
run down of the most successful young entrepreneurs in
the US.
Shares in Facebook hit a record $109 earlier this month
and more than a billion people use the social network
every day, the Daily Telegraph reports.
The third person on the list is Jan Koum, the 39-year-old
WhatsApp founder who is estimated to be worth
$8.8billion according to Forbes.
Earlier this year it was reported that Zuckerberg, who
founded Facebook in 2004, was the 16th richest person in
the world after a surge in Facebook stocks.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates remains the richest person
in the world. Currently, his fortune stands at $84.7 billion
