Sure, the Apple can sell 100,000 units of the iPhone 4 in four days but that doesn’t make CEO Steve Jobs richer than Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

The Forbes list of richest people in America which is compiled according to the individual’s net worth revealed this and it came as a shocker mainly because Zuckerberg was all the way at 158 last year while Jobs was up at 43. Both are now at 35 and 42 respectively. Zuckerberg has been the youngest billionaire to date.

It’s not just Facebook and Apple raking in the billions this year. A lot of tech and social media people are still floating around on the list somewhere. Bill Gates still tops it at number one along with a few other Microsoft heads. Other companies that have people on the list include Google, Dell, Amazon, Ebay and Yahoo!’s founders in the 300′s.

I think it’s so ironic that a company founded just six years ago can be more successful than those that have been around for double the years or even more.
