Mark Zuckerberg gains $8 Billion in a day as Meta shares surge

Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune surged by $8 billion on Monday, June 2, 2025, after shares of Meta Platforms Inc. jumped nearly 4%, driven by investor optimism surrounding the company’s growing focus on artificial intelligence.

Meta’s stock climbed $23.41 to close at $670.90, significantly outperforming the broader S&P 500 index, which rose by just 0.4%. The rally pushed Zuckerberg’s real-time net worth to $231.6 billion, according to Forbes, making him the second-richest person in the world as of Tuesday morning.

 

The stock surge followed a Wall Street Journal report indicating that Meta is preparing to launch a comprehensive suite of AI tools tailored for advertisers. According to sources cited in the article, these tools would enable businesses to generate complete ad campaigns, including creative content and targeted audience strategies, entirely through AI. The rollout is expected as early as 2026, though Meta has not yet confirmed the plans.

 

Currently, Meta uses AI in limited advertising applications, but the reported expansion signals a major leap in the company’s efforts to modernise its ad-driven revenue model. With most of Meta’s income coming from digital advertising, the new tools could give it an edge in the competitive landscape dominated by platforms like TikTok and YouTube.

 

Investor excitement around AI has been a key driver of tech stocks over the past year. Meta’s pivot toward AI places it alongside tech giants like Alphabet and Microsoft, which are aggressively integrating generative AI into their ecosystems.

 

Zuckerberg, 40, co-founded Facebook in 2004 while studying at Harvard. The company went public in 2012 and rebranded as Meta in 2021 to reflect its ambitious bet on the metaverse—a virtual reality-powered space that has yet to yield significant commercial success. In recent months, however, Meta appears to have shifted its attention toward AI, which investors see as a more immediate and practical growth engine.

 

The strategic timing of this shift comes amid slowing digital ad growth and increasing privacy restrictions that have weakened traditional ad tracking. AI-powered content generation, microtargeting, and automation promise to restore some of that lost precision.

 

Zuckerberg owns roughly 13% of Meta’s shares and retains controlling voting power through a dual-class share structure. In 2015, he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, pledged to donate 99% of their Meta shares over their lifetime via the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

 

Despite ongoing regulatory scrutiny and criticism regarding content moderation and data privacy, Meta remains a dominant player in global social media, with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp serving billions of users worldwide.
