Who is richer? Facebook Founder or TikTok Founder?.......... Aren’t we all so familiar with the name of Mark Zuckerberg? The white guy with his t-shirt on and short hair, or should i say it like… the founder of facebook? Well most of us already know about him but… do we also know about Zhang Yiming? A chinese entrepreneur, who first founded ByteDance in 2012, … And then he went further and developed TikTok… But the answer to the question you are here to look for is, “who is richer?” , right? Well, watch till the end of this video to find out… Also I have a lot of other fun and surprising facts to share with you too… so, buckle up and let’s begin… Who knows you might get just the motivation that you need? Jack Dorsey - Twitter......... Yes I know, twitter is owned by elon musk… But well, we were talking about the founders today so i thought it better to include them, instead of the owners… (pause) Where most of the billionaires in this list will give you motivation, Dorsey’s life.. umm… I dont know… it's a little unusual for a normal person to get motivated from.. But well, let's start… From fighting armies of bots to quashing rumors about sending his beard hair to rapper Azealia Banks, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey leads an unusual life of luxury. Dorsey has had a turbulent career in Silicon Valley. After founding Twitter on March 21 2006, he was booted as the company's CEO two years later, but returned in 2015 having set up his second company, Square — which he rebranded as Block in 2021. Dorsey officially stepped down from Twitter's board of directors amid Elon Musk's bid for the company, in 2022. he has provoked his fair share of controversy and criticism, extolling fasting and ice baths as part of his daily routine. And his existence is not entirely spartan, however. Like some other billionaires, he with his net worth of 6.1 billion dollars owns a stunning house, dates models, and drives fast cars. Jan Koum - Whatsapp ....... Who knew that the messaging app we use today is by an entrepreneur who is worth an inspiration to many of us. We are talking about the founder of the world's most popular messaging application, WhatsApp, Jan Koum. He literally started from poverty and today he enjoys his billions of dollars income in his grand Malibu mansion… which is surely a sight to see… Initially he was working at yahoo… and then tried joining facebook, from where he was rejected… After trying again and again, Koum decided to start his own company with his friend. Seeing different apps like Skype, Shazam, and many more, he wanted to create a platform that could improve communication among friends and families through phone calls and texting It was Jan Koum's 33rd birthday, 2009, when he incorporated WhatsApp Inc in California. In its initial days, WhatsApp was not used widely as people did not know about its existence… But with time its existence started becoming known to more and more people then in 2014, WhatsApp was sold to Facebook for 19 billion dollars. Even though he left facebook he is still an employee of Facebook through a method called 'rest and vest', where he earns around 450 million dollars without even having to work… His net worth comes around ten billion and of course is increasing with every passing day… Bobby Murphy - Snapchat............ Murphy is well-known for being the creator of Snapchat, formerly known as Picaboo… The software was created and released in 2011. By 2014, Snapchat users had begun to send 700 million photos and videos every day. The success of Snapchat lifted the company and the founder to fame and fortune. As an interesting side note, Murphy has little to no social media presence despite being a co-founder and creator of one of the most widely used social applications. He does have a public Twitter account that boasts an impressive number of followers for an account without a single tweet. About his net worth, it has seen massive changes from his start to now. During the creation of the Snapchat application, Murphy was living on a salary earned from Revel Systems. Only a few short years after launch, Murphy’s net worth had skyrocketed to over 1 billion dollars. At the height of Snapchat’s popularity, his net worth was quoted at 9 billion dollars. Today, he is listed to be worth 6.3 billion dollars. Zhang Yiming - TikTok........ Zhang Yiming is the Founder of Beijing ByteDance Technology Co ., one of China’s biggest internet technology conglomerates that are quickly eclipsing other online content platforms. The apps in ByteDance’s portfolio include TikTok, the video-based social media app quickly becoming popular with Gen-Z. ByteDance is valued at 75 billion dollars and brings in around 1 billion monthly users globally — it is considered one of the world’s most valuable startups. Talking about Zhang, he was born in 1983, and is among a generation of Chinese millennials experiencing China’s economic reforms first-hand. His home province Fujian on the southeast coast, was among the earliest regions in the Chinese mainland to open up to the world. Zhang had the vision to push relevant content to users by generating recommendations by artificial intelligence that eventually led to the birth of ByteDance. In September 2015, ByteDance launched its video-sharing app TikTok with a small fanbase. The product was an instant hit with Gen Z and millennials and became popular worldwide in the following years. ByteDance bought Musical.ly, a Chinese social media service a year later for 800 million dollars and integrated it into TikTok. This is the journey of tiktok along with its founder zhang yiming, who no doubt is one of the smartest men on earth when it comes to apps and business… Zhang has a net worth of fifty billion dollars, making him the second richest social media tycoon in the world.. Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook....... Now let’s come to our dear Mark Zuckerberg… He is the man behind Meta, previously and widely known as facebook. Okay let us first take a brief route to his early life. You know.. To give some motivation.. Zuckerberg was enrolled in Harvard University but dropped out in his second year as he chose to work on developing Facebook. which grew out of two previous platforms he created, which were FaceMash and HarvardConnection.com. He combined them both and started developing facebook… Fast forward to 2004 which saw Zuckerburg sued by credited founders of HarvardConnection.Com… they felt he stole intellectual property from their website…. This was ironed out with a multi-million-dollar settlement paid out in cash as well as stock options in 2008. The Winklevoss twins sought to reinitiate this lawsuit in 2011 however the courts didn’t let them proceed. And yes that chapter ended there… By mid 2005, facebook started raising revenue.. And that was the time when zuckerberg got an offer for his app for one billion dollars.. Which he rejected.. Fast-forward to 2012 when Facebook launched its IPO which went on to be the most successful internet IPO ever as it raised 16 billion dollars. Mark Zuckerburg has definitely paved the way forward for social media platforms and has changed the digital space. Under his helm, Facebook has gone on to acquire several companies ranging from Instagram and WhatsApp to Oculus VR. The Mark Zuckerburg success story showcases how early interest in a given field can see itself transform into global domination if encouraged… And for the latest, zuckerberg has announced the company will change its name to Meta, saying the move reflects the fact the company is now much broader than just the social media platform, facebook… About the net worth of zuckerberg, it remains at a whopping sixty-seven point three billion dollars, making him the richest among all the social media billionaires… Will all this said and done, i bet you already have your answer… but to just give it to you straight and short… zuckerberg is still richest… not just by comparison to zhang yiming but as compared to any other social media personality… However, considering the growth of tiktok and the intellect of its founder.. There is a doubt that zuckerberg will hold on to his first spot for long… And this is it for today guys… Thank you very much for watching the video. Do like and share it with your friends.
