Mark Zuckerberg ‘lost’ billions of dollars in hours as Facebook went down

Last night social media giant Facebook suffered a global outage that lasted for quite a few hours. WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook all went down as users struggled to log in or use the popular social media apps. The fall out of the outage led to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg ‘losing’ billions of dollars. According to a report by Bloomberg, the stock price of Facebook went down 5%. With Facebook stock price falling, it affected the company CEO’s estimated net worth. As per the report, Zuckerberg’s estimated net worth went down to $121.6 billion — about $6 billion less than when the day began. In the Bloomberg Billionaires’ Index, Zuckerberg dropped to the 5th spot. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates climbed up the list in fourth place with an estimated net worth of $124 billion.
