Zuckerberg Fortune Tumbles as Facebook Growth Set to Slow: Chart

The sobering comments came on a Wednesday evening earnings call even as the Menlo Park, California-based company reported third-quarter sales increased 56 percent to $7.01 billion. Zuckerberg is the world's fifth richest person with a $52 billion fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
