Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth has climbed to a figure that only two other billionaires in the United States have achieved.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, had a net worth of $265 billion as of Monday, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index showed Tuesday. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos ranked No. 2 at $216 billion.
