Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has ascended to the third spot on the list of the world's richest people, according to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This marks a significant shift, as it's the first time Zuckerberg has cracked the top three since 2020.

The rise comes at the expense of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose wealth has seen a decline this year. As of April 6th, Zuckerberg's net worth sits at a staggering $187 billion, surpassing Musk's $181 billion. This shift in rankings highlights the contrasting fortunes of the two tech titans.

Zuckerberg's wealth has seen a significant jump of $58.9 billion this year, likely driven by the success of Meta Platforms Inc. In contrast, Musk's wealth has shrunk by $48.4 billion, potentially due to challenges faced by Tesla.

France's Bernard Arnault remains firmly in the top spot with a net worth of $223 billion. While no Indian billionaires feature in the top ten, Mukesh Ambani (Reliance Industries) and Gautam Adani hold the 11th and 14th positions, respectively.

The Bloomberg Billionaires Index provides daily updates on the world's 500 wealthiest individuals, offering valuable insights into the ever-shifting landscape of global wealth.
