Mark Zuckerberg’s White‑Knight Status Turns into a Black‑Knight Disaster
Facebook’s Stock Plummets by 20%—Could This Be the Biggest One‑Day Drop in U.S. History?
When Mark Zuckerberg had to announce his latest earnings report, the world got a free one‑hour roller‑coaster ride. The sheer disappointment sent Facebook shares into a free‑fall, losing a staggering 20 percent the following morning.
From “Triple Rich” to “Triple Not Rich”
- Wednesday’s news slashed Zuckerberg’s net worth by a jaw‑dropping $14.5 billion.
- Today, the unrelenting slide reduced his fortune to $72 billion—dropping him out of the top three riches in tech and landing him smack in the sixth spot.
- The blurbs on social media show a mix of horror and disbelief: “Will Facebook ever bounce back?” “What now, Mark?”
Wall Street’s Ripple Effect
Not only did the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 stumble under Facebook’s weight, but many investors abandoned their bullish stance. Over 16 brokerages pulled their price targets down, citing a looming two‑year squeeze on profits as facebook works to upgrade privacy safeguards and chase the ‘new normals’ of regulation.
