Facebook Inc co-founder Mark Zuckerberg came within a whisker of leapfrogging Warren Buffett as the world’s third-richest person on June 20.
Zuckerberg, more than a half-century younger than the Berkshire Hathaway Inc chairman, is now worth US$81.6bil (RM327.37bil), gaining US$8.8bil (RM35.30bil) this year as Facebook shook off a data-privacy crisis that caused its stock to tumble 18%. Its rebound from a low of US$152.22 (RM610.71) on March 27 to close at a record US$202 (RM810.42) narrowed the gap with Buffett to US$29mil (RM116.34mil), according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
