Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg has leapfroged Warren Buffett on the list of world’s richest persons.
Zuckerberg became the world’s third-richest person on Friday as Facebook shares climbed 2.4 percent, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The 34-year-old is now worth $81.6 billion, about $373 million more than Buffett, the 87-year-old chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos and Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates, remain number one and number two respectively.
This is the first time the three wealthiest people on the ranking made their fortunes from technology.
