41-year-old Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Net Worth: Is he among world's top 10 richest men?
As of 2025, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and co-founder of the revolutionary social networking platform Facebook, has secured the place of one of the wealthiest individuals in the world. Under his leadership, Meta has had an excellent year, and its share price has increased by 70%. Be it for his alleged MMA cage fight with Elon Musk or his various tech ventures, the business magnate is always making headlines.
Mark so effortlessly dismisses his billionaire status and is often captured wearing a plain denim and grey t-shirt combo. Let's take a look at how he has embraced a humble way of life and makes the most of his day.
A Sneak Peek into Mark Zuckerberg's Net Worth & Minimalistic Lifestyle
A native of New York, Mark's journey to success wasn't a bed of roses. He attended Harvard University but had to leave during his sophomore year to focus on his startup project. He launched Facebook as a joint venture with his roommates in 2004. However, miscommunications happened, and he had to face countless hurdles to take his tech company to new heights.
Mark met his wife, Priscilla, while attending university, and the couple tied the knot in 2012. Last year, his wealth jumped by USD 78 billion. According to Forbes, Mark Zuckerberg's current net worth is estimated at USD 235.7 billion.
His daily routine is quite similar to that of any other 9-to-5 employee. He has incorporated the necessary lifestyle changes to power through a hectic day. After getting up at 8 in the morning, the first thing he does is check Facebook to get updates on world news. He gets 'punched in the stomach' with the inundation of texts from his connections. He then heads straight to the gym.
Zuckerberg works out at least three times a week to 'reset' himself. In the past, he focused on running, but recently, he has shifted his focus to jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts (MMA). Over the years, he has developed several hobbies, including surfing, raising cattle, learning Mandarin, and reading.
The 40-year-old tech mogul is pretty transparent about his lifestyle choices. From eliminating time-consuming habits like planning his outfits every day to incorporating various forms of martial arts into his fitness regimen, he is setting an example as one of the most inspiring CEOs.
Despite encountering a turbulent journey, one thing that has stayed consistent throughout the years is his humble nature and dedication toward leading a healthy and unostentatious lifestyle. And this has made him one of the top 10 richest men in the world.

WhatsApp To Start Showing Ads In Updates Tab, Personal Chats To Remain Unaffected
New Delhi: WhatsApp has announced that it will soon introduce advertisements and other paid features in a major shift for the messaging app, which has mostly remained ad-free since its launch. The move marks WhatsApp's most significant step toward monetisation since it was acquired by Meta in 2014. The company said the new advertising features will be limited to the 'Updates' tab, which includes Channels and Status -- features that are used by over 1.5 billion people daily. It clarified that users who only use WhatsApp for personal messaging will not see any change in their experience. Chats, calls, and groups will continue to be free from ads and will remain end-to-end encrypted. "We've been talking about building a business that doesn't interrupt your personal chats for years, and we believe the Updates tab is the right place for these new features," WhatsApp said in a statement. The new features include paid channel subscriptions, promoted channels in the Discovery section, and ads in the Status feature -- WhatsApp's version of Instagram Stories. These updates are being rolled out gradually over the next few months and will first appear in select countries. Users will now be able to subscribe to their favourite channels for a monthly fee and receive exclusive updates. This feature aims to offer a new way for creators and organisations to earn money directly through WhatsApp. Adding further, WhatsApp is introducing promoted channels. This will help users discover new and relevant content while giving channel admins a tool to improve their visibility through the directory. This is the first time WhatsApp is offering a promotion feature to enhance discoverability. However, WhatsApp has assured its users that these new features are confined to the Updates tab and will not affect personal messaging. "If you only use WhatsApp to chat with friends and loved ones, there is no change to your experience at all," the company said in its official statement. The announcement comes as Meta looks for new ways to make money from WhatsApp, which has over two billion monthly active users. For years, industry experts have predicted that Meta would eventually introduce advertising on WhatsApp due to its massive global reach and high engagement levels. While the exact launch dates for these new features have not been confirmed, WhatsApp said they will be introduced gradually and carefully, with privacy protections in place.

There is a uniform duty on auto components for all countries, so "we have not seen a big dent" on the sector. But if it will be continued for long, there could be some impact. If some countries will get exemptions from this duty then it may impact Indian players, he added. Live Events The US has imposed 25 per cent tariffs on these products.
