Mark Zuckerberg’s insistence on pivoting Facebook (now known as Meta) to focus on a digital metaverse appears to be costing him dearly, with his fortune dropping by $71 billion, or about half his overall wealth, this year alone.

Bloomberg reports that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg may be regretting his pivot towards the metaverse as his fortune diminishes hugely. While every U.S. tech mogul has seen some of their wealth erased, Zuckerberg has been affected more than most with his fortune being cut in half dropping by $71 billion, the biggest loss among the world’s richest people according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Zuckerberg’s net worth of $55.9 billion now ranks him at the 20th spot among global billionaires, his lowest placement since 2014 behind three Waltons and two members of the Koch family.

Less than two years ago, Zuckerberg was worth $106 billion and ranked among an elite group of billionaires with only Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates placing above him in terms of personal wealth. In September 2021, Zuckerberg’s own worth reached $142 billion when Facebook shares reached as high as $382.

A month later, Zuckerberg rebranded Facebook as Meta and announced that the company would be focusing on building a digital metaverse. It has been largely downhill for Zuckerberg and the company since then as he fails to convince many that working, socializing, and living in a digital world via VR headsets is the future of the internet.

The jackass probably saw Ready Player 1 too many times. It does my heart good knowing of his substantial losses.

warms my heart

couldn't have happened to a nicer asshole

Wouldn't feel too bad for him, likely he'll double his owned shares at the lower price and in a few years when the market recovers triple his net worth as people move into VR lifestyles.

Once you get Virtual Sex and Pizza working, well the world as we know it with human to human interfacing is over...

Sheesh,I hope he's able to adapt to only having a net worth of $50+ billion dollars.

He'll have to tighten his belt, pull himself up by his bootstraps, and start making coffee at home instead of going out, but somehow he'll survive.

And I hope it keeps getting cut in half until that bastard is broke and sucking dick in an alley.

What he and his "platform" have done to influence the idiots of this country, particularly in the 2020 presidential election, have caused massive damage to this country.

This all day.

May he lose half again every day of his life

Ya, it’s not like he’s going to have to cancel his NetFlix subscription and start eating Raman.

I vote to let the locals in Kauai go over to his property and do how they please. No criminal or civil charges can be filed!

He's not exactly hurting.

Poor bastard. Some people really have it awful.

far more than most know. He was key in the 2020 "steal". Not only funded the hundreds of drop boxes in key DEM cities, but also literally installed his own people in some election positions

Given Facebook's reputation for playing loose with privacy, security, and the truth: Can you imagine trusting your reality, virtual or otherwise, to its tender mercies?

Maybe people aren't quite as stupid and clueless as we've been thinking?

Bet he'll be found high on spice, wearing a VR headset, selling "Likes" for 5 bucks on a street corner...

I’d love to see that geeky little prick living in a garage searching Pornhub all day

I'll celebrate when this scumbag loses 99.99% of his fortune.

Aw, poor boy.
