They are the creators of modern high-tech companies. Zuckerberg, 34, is worth $81.6 billion, more than $373 million from Berkshire, the 87-year-old chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.

世界上最富有的三个人，首次全部都来自科技公司，而没有诸如地产、能源这样的传统领域巨头，他们是现代高科技企业的缔造者。现年34岁的扎克伯格身家816亿美元，比伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司87岁的董事长兼首席执行官巴菲特多出3.73亿美元。

Zuckerberg’s assets are mainly due to the continued support of investors for Facebook. Social media giants have shaken off the adverse effects of the privacy data crisis. Some time ago, the scandal hit Facebook’s share price and pushed it to near on March 27. The lowest point in 8 months is $152.22. Last Friday, it closed at a record $203.23.

扎克伯格的资产主要是因投资者对Facebook的持续支持而水涨船高，社交媒体巨人摆脱了隐私数据危机的不利影响，前段时间，丑闻重创了Facebook的股价，在3月27日将其压至近8个月内的最低点152.22美元。而上周五收于创纪录的203.23美元。

二、富豪榜出现变更的原因

Berkshire Hathaway CEO Buffett's personal net assets continued to decline, mainly because he is constantly conducting charitable donations. In 2010, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Buffett launched the "The Giving Pledge" program to promote the world's richest people to join the charitable donation team. Most of the wealth is used for charity.

伯克希尔哈撒韦首席执行官巴菲特个人净资产的持续下滑，主要是因为他在不断的进行慈善捐赠活动。遭在2010年，微软联合创始人比尔•盖茨（Bill Gates）和与巴菲特共同发起“捐赠誓言（The Giving Pledge）”计划，旨在促成全球最富有的人加入慈善捐赠的队伍，将自己绝大部分的财富用于慈善事业。

Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, established the Chen-Zuckerberg Initiative Foundation and announced that it will donate 99% of Facebook to the Foundation for education, health care, and education. Investment in housing, immigration reform and criminal justice reform.

扎克伯格与妻子普莉希拉·陈（Priscilla Chan）成立“陈-扎克伯格倡议”基金会，并宣布将把99%的Facebook捐赠给该基金会，旨在对教育、医疗、主房、移民改革和刑事司法改革方面进行投资。

以上是今天的英语口语学习内容。虽然facebook的股价上涨，但facebook的麻烦并没有过去。美国民众们对facebook的好感正在下降，扎克伯格本人也处在麻烦之中，不少脸书的投资人也对扎克伯格的管理方式心存不满，所以未来脸书的发展还是有一定的风险存在。
