Mark Zuckerberg Only Worth A Pathetic $69 Billion Now

Like a Holocaust-denier plunging confusedly through a thicket of historical evidence, Mark Zuckerberg’s worth has plunged precariously.
Zuckerberg, who has been in hot water since purporting in an interview that most Holocaust deniers are just confused and since the news leaked that Facebook’s profit from the Trump Campaign’s social media advertising is much greater than previously believed, dropped in personal value today as Facebook stock sinks. The social media site dropped 20% in value on Wednesday, resulting in a $17.6 billion loss for Zuckerberg alone.
Really puts that extra latte you bought into perspective, doesn’t it?
Poor Zuckerberg is now not only uneducated (he is sans a college degree,) but the poor slob is also, at a measly $68.9 billion, officially worth less than Warren Buffett. How will he feed his children, one wonders. But the sun’ll come out tomorrow. Or it won’t, if the conspiracy theorists and hack scientists are right. After all — as long as it doesn’t directly incite violence, fake news deserves a voice on Facebook.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
