The Forbes Billionaires List reached a new milestone: For the first time, it has four members worth $200 billion or more.

Mark Zuckerberg joined the elite $200 billion club Thursday after his net worth rose by $3 billion as Meta shares ticked up 1.7%. His fortune of $201.5 billion puts him just ahead of Jeff Bezos, worth $200.2 billion, but behind Larry Ellison, worth $203.3 billion, and the world’s richest person, Elon Musk, with a net worth of $258.7 billion.

The Meta cofounder’s wealth has rebounded significantly since a 2022 low point for the company’s shares when Zuckerberg’s net worth was just $57.7 billion. But Meta’s had a banner year, with shares up 68% so far in 2024.

Nvidia’s stock is up more than 147% since the start of the year.
