Wealth shrank by 40 billion, fell out of the top ten of the rich list, zuckerberg became the biggest leek in the yuan universe

I don't know if Zuckerberg now recalls his ambitions for the metacosm a few months ago, and whether he has a trace of regret.

According to relevant reports, due to the loss of tens of billions of dollars suffered by Meta's meta-universe development department, the main advertising business also showed growth weakness, which made Meta's stock price fall sharply, and Zuckerberg himself fell out of the top ten of the world's richest list. It is reported that since the beginning of this year, his wealth has decreased by nearly $40 billion, a decline of more than 30%.

In fact, since wading through the muddy waters of the "metacosm", Zuckerberg and the company's life has not been very good.

On February 3, Meta announced its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2021 financial results, the first financial report after the company's name change in October 2021.

According to the financial report, Reality Labs, Meta's most important meta-universe business, achieved a total of $877 million in revenue in the fourth quarter of last year, but an operating loss of $3.304 billion; from the full year results, the business achieved revenue of $2.27 billion in 2021, with a net loss of $10.19 billion.

Metacosm continues to burn money, while in other businesses, Meta has also stalled. Facebook, a longtime business social platform, lost about 500,000 users in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the previous quarter, showing a decline for the first time in 18 years.

As of Feb. 11, Zuckerberg remained at 12th on Bloomberg's list of billionaires. From the third rich list in 2020, it has fallen out of the top ten in less than two years, and Zuckerberg seems to have become the earliest and largest leek in the metaverse.

The future of the meta-universe is still confusing, I don't know if the lessons of this "big leek" can make the market tend to be calm?
