BUSINESS: Zuckerberg Now Richer Than Steve Jobs

Bill Gates is still the richest man in America but Mark Zuckerburg is moving up in the rankings, according to the latest Forbes rich list. The 26-year-old Facebook founder, with an estimated fortune of $6.9 billion, is now in 35th place, surging ahead of Apple's Steve Jobs, who came in 42nd with an estimated net worth of $6.1 billion, most of it coming from his stake in Disney.

Zuckerberg's net worth soared by $4.9 billion last year thanks to private equity deals that valued Facebook at $23 billion. He's the second-youngest billionaire on the list. The youngest is Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, who was born 8 days after Zuckerberg. He comes in at number 290 with a fortune of $1.4 billion. Zuckerberg already appears to be moving to give some of his fortune away, and is announcing a $100 million donation to Newark's public schools.

I wonder if Zuckerberg is looking for a Boyfriend?
