Mark Zuckerberg Is Much Poorer Than He Was Last Year

GettyForbes annual billionaire's list is out. The list ranks the most powerful people in the world.

The tech world is full of self-made billionaires including the youngest, Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.

At just 28 years old, Zuckerberg's net worth is $13.3 billion. He ranks number nine in the tech industry and number 66 in the world.

Despite this amazing accomplishment, Zuckerberg's net worth has drastically fallen since he took his company public last May.

In March 2012, Zuckerberg's net worth was $17.7 billion, but by September 2012 that number dropped to $9.4 billion. Today it has settled at $13.3 billion.

Zuckerberg is known to be very modest with his earnings, choosing to drive a common Acura sedan. In late 2012, he and his wife donated $500 million in stock to a Silicon Valley charity.
