Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had a tough week: His sister went to work for his top competitor, Google, his company's stock price hit a new low and now he has dropped out of the top 10 tech billionaires list.
Zuckerberg's fortune fell by $423 million on Thursday to $10.2 billion. That puts him $400 million behind James Goodnight, the co-founder of SAS Institute, the new number 10 on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
