Mark Zuckerberg overtakes Jeff Bezos as world’s second richest person
New York: Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, became the world’s second richest person for the first time on Thursday. According to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, Zuckerberg's net worth has reached $206.2 billion, putting him $1.1 billion ahead of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
This staggering increase in Zuckerberg’s fortune is attributed to Meta’s impressive performance and strong investor confidence in the tech giant's ambitious push into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR).
Zuckerberg, who holds a 13% stake in the Menlo Park, California-based company, has seen his wealth surge by $78 billion this year—more than any other member of the 500 richest individuals tracked by the Bloomberg Index.
This leap positions Zuckerberg just behind Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who remains at the top with a net worth approximately $50 billion greater than Zuckerberg's.

Fake notes with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them send police into tizzy in Sirsi
Sirsi (Karnataka), Apr 8 (PTI): The police in Uttar Kannada went into a tizzy on Tuesday after they found fake currency notes of Rs 500 denomination from a house in Dandeli with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them.
Based on a tip-off, police searched a rented house at Gandhinagar in Dandeli and confiscated the fake currency notes along with a money counting machine.
Arshad Khan, who is said to be from Goa, was staying as a tenant in the house belonging to Noorjan Jhunjuwadkar, police said.
Police were informed after Jhunjuwadkar noticed that Khan was absent from the house for the past one month.
The fake currency notes had the inscription 'Reverse Bank of India' on them, but did not have the signature of the RBI governor, police said.
The notes were printed on a shining paper with only zeros written in the place of the number, and 'movie shooting purpose only' inscribed on them, police said.
A hunt is on to trace Khan to question him about the seizure, they added.
