On paper... a lot of the other people on the list have actual assets. Till an IPO its all speculation.
"Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has beaten Google founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, once again. And no, we are not talking about the success of the trio's social networking ventures. Zuckerberg is now richer than the Google duo."
What exactly did he beat them at before?
Isn't the valuation of Facebook actually extremely murky vis-a-vis open market pricing? It not being generally purchaseable and highly valued makes me think of PetroChina.
The Googlers are still nearly twice as wealthy together…
Do private valuations actually count?
If there isn't an open regulated market for Facebook shares how are we sure it isn't some shell game?
seriously?! How much is Zucks worth now?
"With an estimated fortune of $17.5 billion, Zuckerberg breaks into the ranks of the richest 20 Americans for the first time -- coming in at No. 14 on the 2011 Forbes 400."
