Mark is just below Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos (spot 13), who has a personal fortune worth $19.1 billion, according to Forbes.

Here’s a look at some of the search/tech personalities in the top 100 of Forbes’ list:

1. Bill Gates, $59 billion
13. Jeff Bezos, $19.1 billion
14. Mark Zuckerberg, $17.5 billion
15. Sergey Brin, $16.7 billion

It is relatively a bit shocking news for Apple fans and readers as why Steve Jobs is on 39 rather than in the top ten list well Most of Jobs’s wealth is in the form of preferentially owned stock. He owns about 5 million shares of Apple and 138 million shares of Disney, which he received when Disney bought Pixar, according to CNNMoney.
