Mark Zuckerberg just lost $9 billion in wealth

Mark Zuckerberg's wealth status has changed — he's lost more than $9 billion in stock wealth over the past 48 hours.

Zuckerberg, who owns a little over 400 million shares of Facebook, has seen his wealth drop to around $66 billion from $75 billion since the stock opened on Monday morning, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire's Index and Forbes. This weekend, he was the fourth richest man in the world. Now, he will be sixth or seventh.

Of course, losing $9 billion here and there are the least of Zuckerberg's worries, with Facebook under attack for the improper sharing of member data. But the loss shows just how costly the scandal has become for Facebook and its founder. Not to mention its millions of other shareholders.

7. I am still befuddled by this. If he doesnt help the russians, willingly or not

he is still worth billions.

Why in the fuck would he do this?

[Cattledog]

9. Ego

The portrayal in "The Social Network" was spot on.

[workinclasszero]

13. "Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king

And the king ain't satisfied till he rules everything".

Bruce Springsteen, Badlands.

It works I guess. Ill personally never understand people with billions of dollars demand it all till the world starves and it still would not satisfy them!

[Eliot Rosewater]

14. Guess i will never be rich, my mind cant work this way.

[workinclasszero]

30. I'll never understand it either

[lagomorph777]

20. I assume any billionaire is sick with greed.

There is no limit to that type of greed. There's no such thing as "enough."

[anarch]

8. gosh, how will he ever get by on a meager $66 billion?

Our society is completely ridiculous.

[marylandblue]

11. It might all be gone by the time this is done

[workinclasszero]

15. What would be a damn shame huh?

to infinity and beyond!

[workinclasszero]

18. No money for healthcare, food for the hungry

decent wages for the workers, social security etc, Zuckerberg has it all!

12. Good... fuck him

Leave Facebook. Make him lose more.

[we can do it]

16. Its not enough. The thief needs to go broke.

[mountain grammy]

17. How will he ever live?

I'm so worried, I might even pray for him. Oh, right, I'm an atheist.

[BigmanPigman]

19. "But what about Free Speech?".

That will become the excuse of his fans like the NRA's is the 2nd amend.

[Iggo]

22. Yep. I'm dumb.

[BillyBobBrilliant]

23. He made a deal with FTC to

pay $40,000 for each breach...
Let us see...
$40,000 x 50,000,000=$2,000,000,000,000 (as in trillion).

I'll take my $40K anytime.

[poboy2]

25. Thats a nice slice of pie. I'll have some too. -nt

[WhiteTara]

24. I think this calls for class action lawsuits.

[Tipperary]

26. That is nothing to him.

[Freethinker65]

27. Shut it down

[Initech]

28. Oh I am so very sad about this!

[CanonRay]

29. I dropped a quarter the other day

amounts to the same thing for Zuckerberg.

[workinclasszero]

31. How about his stockholders though?

They are taking a bath with him too!

[struggle4progress]

32. Here: hold my beer while I subvert democracy

[workinclasszero]

33. Yeah

[RestoreAmerica2020]

34. Pobrecito... I'm sure he's protected most of his wealth, so he won't be homeless anytime soon

[Pobrecito:poor little boy]

[Luciferous]

35. Good!

[lame54]

36. Which makes him only a multi billionare...

It's only a fraction of what he stole so he still wins

[Boomerproud]

37. I. Don't. Care.

and neither does he.

[Hav]

38. Sorry for those here who have shares

but I hope that is only the beginning. I assume many will (hopefully) reconsider their use of Facebook. When I read that those at Facebook who wanted to go public about Russian influence were blocked to do so, then I'd be glad if Facebook goes down.

[dreamland]

39. I hope he'd lose it all.

He was complicit.
