Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp ‘down’, Zuckerberg loses 6 billion dollars

With yesterday’s ‘down’ of Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, the estimated net worth of Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, fell by about $ 6 billion (€ 5.165 billion) on Monday, mainly due to the collapse of actions of the popular social network after the problems suffered yesterday by the three platforms, all owned by Facebook, whose services resumed after several hours. According to data from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Zuckerberg’s personal fortune fell Monday to $ 122 billion (€ 105.039 billion), a decline of $ 6.11 billion (€ 5.26 billion) from the previous session. The Facebook founder has thus lost a position in the ranking of the richest people in the world and is now fifth, just behind Bill Gates, Bernard Arnault, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, who tops the list. A month ago, the entrepreneur’s estimated net worth was $ 140 billion (€ 120.537 billion). Despite this, Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune has increased by approximately $ 18 billion (€ 15.497 billion) so far this year. In Monday’s session, Facebook’s shares fell 4.89%, although so far in 2021 they have appreciated by more than 19%.
