and invest the proceeds in more profitable sectors. He earned more than 40 million French francs and invested them in real estate. He succeeded his father as head of the company

and found his golden opportunity when the Boussac textile company—which owned several businesses, including Christian Dior—went bankrupt. He entered the “venture” with $15 million

of his own money and came out with 400 million million. In 1987, he invested in LVMH and spent millions buying shares until

He owned 43.5% of it, and later became its CEO.

by 2007, his wealth was estimated at $6.82 billion. During that period, Microsoft bought a 1.6% stake for $240 million, and

Li Ka-shing invested $60 million in Facebook.

2012. Facebook began expanding in 2012, acquiring Instagram for $1 billion that year. In 2014, it bought WhatsApp for $19 billion. These

expansion efforts brought Zuckerberg’s wealth from Facebook shares alone to $47 billion. By the end of 2018, his wealth had reached $71 billion.
