Mark Zuckerberg appears concerned after slipping in the global billionaire rankings. To strengthen his position, he is reportedly exploring new revenue streams, including the possibility of subscription-based services for Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram Plus in the future.
Although Zuckerberg’s position dropped from second to fifth place in Forbes’ 2025 Billionaires List, his net worth still rose from $216 billion to $222 billion. However, Elon Musk and three other billionaires moved ahead of him.
Meta’s platforms continue to dominate globally. Facebook has over 3.07 billion users worldwide, including 2.11 billion daily active users. India alone has more than 580 million Facebook users, compared to around 250 million in US.
WhatsApp serves nearly 3.3 billion users globally, with India contributing over 850 million users.
Since India is Meta’s biggest market, decisions made by Indian users could significantly influence the company’s revenue and Zuckerberg’s future ranking.
