Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has overtaken Microsoft founder Bill Gates to become the world’s fourth richest person with $132 billion fortune.
According to a report in Forbes, the divorce of Bill Gates and Melinda Gates and the subsequent division of property is the main reason why Bill Gates is at the bottom of the list of richest people.
Gates has been at the top of the list of the richest people in the world since 1987, but this is the first time that Bill Gates has slipped from third to fifth on the list.
According to the report, the assets of Bill Gates are now worth $129.6 billion, while the assets of Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, which is ranked fourth on the list of the richest people in the world, is worth $132 billion.
