Bernard Arnault Ousted as World's Richest Man by Mark Zuckerberg

Bernard Arnault, previously the world's richest man, has been surpassed by Mark Zuckerberg in the Bloomberg ranking of the largest fortunes.

Currently, his fortune is estimated at $185 billion, placing him fourth behind Zuckerberg ($188 billion), Jeff Bezos ($193 billion), and Elon Musk ($235 billion).

According to Forbes, this revision is partly due to a significant increase of $59.5 billion for Zuckerberg, favored by the surge in the stock price of Facebook's parent company.

It's worth noting that stock market fluctuations frequently lead to variations in the rankings of billionaires.
