Mark Zuckerberg Net Worth: How Much Money Did The Facebook Creator Make Last Week?

In early November, Facebook (FB) will give its quarterly earnings announcement detailing the status of new services like Facebook Live and the latest food-delivery service that the social media network now offers.
However, Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg’s new net worth may be the biggest indication of just how well the company is doing financially. The famed computer programmer recently made $1.6 billion in a week, skyrocketing his overall net worth to $56.6 billion, thanks to an increase in Facebook stock, Forbes
reported.
Facebook shares rose 1.5 percent Friday and were up 1 percent on Monday morning, which has put Zuckerberg, the biggest beneficiary and largest individual shareholder in the company, to the number five slot on Forbes’ ranking list of The World’s Billionaires. Zuckerberg falls right bellow Berkshire Hathaway magnate Warren Buffett, who comes in on the real-time ranking list at number four with an estimated $65 billion a week.
