Zuckerberg has surpassed Bezos to become the 4th richest person in the world.

Zuckerberg Surpasses Bezos

Amazon shares experienced a value loss of 9.3% at the stock market opening on Friday, October 20, falling to $202. This development caught the attention of investors.

Amazon's Strong Earnings Report

On Thursday, Amazon reported revenues exceeding expectations at $213.4 billion. However, reporting earnings per share of $1.95 raised concerns among investors. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated that they anticipate capital expenditures of $200 billion for 2026.

Bezos' Wealth Decline

As of Friday morning, Jeff Bezos' net worth decreased by $16 billion to $218.9 billion. This situation caused Mark Zuckerberg to surpass him with a net worth of $226.6 billion, making him the fifth richest person in the world.

World's Richest Individuals

The title of the richest person in the world is held by Elon Musk, with a net worth of $839.4 billion, followed by Google co-founders Larry Page ($267.3 billion) and Sergey Brin ($246.6 billion).

Changing Rankings Over Time

Zuckerberg and Bezos have swapped positions in the rankings multiple times in recent months as they increased their wealth. Following Meta's better-than-expected earnings report last week, Zuckerberg's net worth surpassed that of Bezos.

Other Changes in the Top 10

Other strong figures in the Top 10 have also experienced changes in rankings. In September's figures, Larry Ellison was second with a net worth of $400 billion, but he has now fallen to sixth place with $182.9 billion.
