Gates still richest but Zuckerberg climbs quickly
But perhaps the biggest movement, at least when looking with an eye for tech moguls, is Zuckerberg's rise to No. 14 on the Forbes list with $17.5 billion. Last year the 27-year-old was at No. 35 on the list at $6.9 billion and the year before he didn't even didn't even qualify as a billionaire. Zuckerberg, this year, also elbowed out Google co-founders Larry Page, 38, and Sergey Brin, 38, who both ranked 15 on the list with net worths of $16.7 billion. But Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos beat out Page, Brin, and Zuckerberg, coming in 13th with an estimated wealth of $19.1 billion.
Some others of note on the list this year included Michael Dell, 46, at No. 18 with an estimated wealth of $15 billion; Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, 55, at No. 19 with an estimated wealth of $13.9 billion; Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, 58, at No. 23 with $13.2 billion; and quite a ways down at No. 39, former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, 56, at $7 billion.
