Facebook Inc. co-founder Mark Zuckerberg came within a whisker of leapfrogging Warren Buffett<\/a> as the worlds third-richest person Wednesday. <\/p>\n

Zuckerberg, more than a half-century younger than the Berkshire Hathaway<\/a> Inc. chairman, is now worth $81.6 billion, gaining $8.8 billion this year as Facebook shook off a data-privacy crisis that caused its stock to tumble 18 percent. Its rebound from a low of $152.22 on March 27 to close at a record $202 narrowed the gap with Buffett to $29 million, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. <\/p>\n

The recovery in Facebook shares has rewarded other insiders as well, including Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, whos now worth $1.8 billion, and Chief Technology Officer Michael Schroepfer, whose 0.05 percent holding is valued at $225 million. <\/p>\n

Zuckerberg, 34, also trails Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos, the worlds richest person with a $144.8 billion fortune, and Microsoft<\/a> Corp. co-founder Bill Gates, with $92.8 billion. The Bloomberg index ranks the worlds 500 richest people and is updated after the close of each trading day in New York. <\/p>\n

Buffett, 87, once the worlds wealthiest person, is sliding in the ranking thanks to his charitable giving, which he kicked off in earnest in 2006. Hes donated about 290 million Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares to charities, most of it to Gatess foundation. Those shares are now worth more than $50 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Zuckerberg has pledged to give away 99 percent of his Facebook stock in his lifetime. <\/p>\n
