Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has overtaken American billionaire and Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell to become the world’s fifth-richest person, following a change in the fortunes of both technology executives.
According to Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires ranking, Zuckerberg moved ahead of Dell on Friday, November 13, 2026, after Meta’s shares recorded gains while Dell Technologies experienced a significant decline in its stock price.
Forbes initially estimated Zuckerberg’s net worth at approximately $217.2 billion, following a rise of more than one per cent in Meta’s share price.
Meanwhile, Michael Dell’s estimated fortune dropped to about $206 billion after Dell Technologies’ shares plunged by nearly nine per cent, wiping approximately $13 billion off his wealth.
The latest Forbes real-time ranking on November 14 placed Zuckerberg’s estimated fortune at approximately $220.4 billion, while Dell’s was valued at around $208.5 billion, maintaining Zuckerberg’s fifth position.
Zuckerberg, who co-founded Facebook in 2004 and currently leads its parent company, Meta Platforms, has built much of his wealth through his stake in the technology giant, which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp.
Michael Dell, on the other hand, accumulated much of his fortune through Dell Technologies and his investments, with the company’s business benefiting from growing demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure and computer servers.
Despite the latest shift in the ranking, the fortunes of both billionaires remain closely tied to movements in the stock market, meaning their positions could change as share prices fluctuate.
