Meta shares surged nearly 12% on Sept. 21 local time, lifting founder Mark Zuckerberg’s estimated net worth to $253.6 billion, according to Forbes as cited by BlockBeats. The one-day increase was estimated at $25 billion. The move came after Wells Fargo raised its price target on Meta from $640 to $796 and kept its overweight rating ahead of the Meta Connect event later this week. The report also said investors were showing confidence in the outlook for Muse, Meta’s personal AI assistant. Usage data for Muse was described as a key metric to watch. The figures cited in the report also converted Zuckerberg’s estimated fortune to about RMB 1.70 trillion, with the single-day gain equal to roughly RMB 167.458 billion.
