Mark Zuckerberg Surpasses Amazon CEO, Now Richer

Some people can stop getting richer! and there is no stopping Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook from getting richer. On Tuesday, he claimed the fourth richest person in the world position. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos used to occupy that position with approximately $48.9 billion, but Zuckerberg reached $50 billion as of the latest report.
The spiral was caused by the rise in Facebook Inc. stock to 21 percent per its quarterly report. NBC News reported that as of Feb. 2, 2016, the young entrepreneur toppled down Amazon and America Movil’s performances. Carlos Slim used to be on the top position from 2010 to 2013, Microsoft founder Bill Gates now tops the charts with a whooping wealth of $75.6 billion.

Wealthy people who amassed wealth in technology above the social media genius are from Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc., which is the parent of Google according to Bloomberg. Among the five billionaires, only Zuckerberg has an increase at the first quarter of the year.
