Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is now richer than Apple CEO Steve Jobs, according to the latest Forbes 400 rankings.

This year, Zuckerberg, 26, added $4.9 billion to his fortune–vaulting to #35 on the Forbes 400 with an estimated fortune of $6.9 billion. Why the jump? Recent private equity investments in Facebook valued the firm at around $23 billion–more than triple its 2009 value of $7 billion. Illiquid private shares in secondary markets point to an even richer valuation.

Steve Jobs ranks #42 on the list with a net worth of $6.1 billion; $1 billion higher than last year.

Apple is a revolutionary, innovative company. Not a place for teens and losers. I'm not surprised that Mark "has" more money. And quite frankly, I don't think Steve gives a F#@k about it. Long after they're gone, Steve would be known as a legend. And Mark would be known as a "genius" dropout punk who's business scheme happened to work big time. "Richer" is not the write word for this article. FIX IT iClarified!!!

That's right. If Steve was still single without any kids, you can take that $6.1b and multiply it by 5.
