Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg caused a buzz when he shared a photo of what his personal wardrobe contained. Zuckerberg meant the photo to be a joke related to returning to work after his paternity leave for the birth of his first baby, Maxima Zuckerberg, with wife Priscilla Chan. Public attention zoomed onto the blandness of the Facebook billionaire's wardrobe.
Express initially emphasized Mark Zuckerberg's net worth from previous in its headline. "He's worth $35.7 billion, so why is Mark Zuckerberg's wardrobe so boring?" The title referenced Zuckerberg's monochrome choice of T-shirts and hooded sweatshirts against the context of Zuckerberg's net worth.
As things turn out, Mark Zuckerberg's net worth is much more than $35.7 billion. Time reports that Forbes named Zuckerberg sixth of the richest people in the world. At market closing on Jan. 27, Facebook stock was at $109.11 a share.
This brought Zuckerberg's net worth to $47.6 billion, which is approximately a couple of cool billions behind Carlos Slim Helu, who is a Mexican telecommunications magnate. The Carlos Slim Helu's current net worth is at $49.5 billion.
First day back after paternity leave. What should I wear?

Whatever Zuckerberg is doing for Facebook is apparently working. The Evening Standard reported that Zuckerberg actively made the decision to create a better focus on Facebook. In an earlier report by the Telegraph, Zuckerberg explained this decision.
"I really want to clear my life so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community," Zuckerberg said. "I'm in this really lucky position where I get to wake up every day and help serve more than 1bn people, and I feel like I'm not doing my job if I spend any of my energy on things that are silly or frivolous about my life, so that way I can dedicate all of my energy towards just building the best products and services."
In a compilation by The Evening Standard of ways by which to emulate Zuckerberg's streamlined lifestyle, Charlotte Ross pointed out that Zuckerberg's practice is neither strange nor new. "Eliminating office outfit stress is nothing new - men have been on to it for over a century," Ross wrote. "Why else does the well-cut suit exist if not to reduce anxieties surrounding choice and appearance?"
