Facebook stumbled quite a bit this year, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune took a hit.
Zuckerberg’s net worth fell nearly $20 billion, making his the largest drop in fortune in 2018, Bloomberg reported. But don’t feel too bad for the 34-year-old: He’s still worth $53 billion.
He wasn’t alone in his loss. American billionaires saw the biggest drop this year, according to Bloomberg. Together this group lost $76 billion, mostly due to December’s market.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
