Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg is certainly not the only billionaire who has lost money this year, but he has paid the most. A sluggish online advertising market, competition from TikTok, and increased skepticism about the Metaverse led to a disappointing third-quarter earnings report for Meta (META).
As of Oct. 27, the stock closed at $97.94, the lowest closing price since 2016. During the day, it was down 24.6%. Meta shares have fallen 61% since the beginning of the year.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has lost a constant stream of net worth since a high of $142 billion in September 2021. According to Bloomberg Billionaires Index data published on October 27, that value has decreased to $37.7 billion. During the past 13 months, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has lost more than $100 billion in net worth.

Meta reported revenue of $27.7 billion for the third quarter in its earnings call, its second consecutive quarterly decline.
Furthermore, Meta projected a gloomy revenue forecast for the fourth quarter, between $30 billion and $32.5 billion. According to Wall Street analysts, Q4 revenue is expected to be at the higher end of that range, so the projected floor worried investors.
