But because of his youth, he's actually made more money per day of living than anybody else on the planet. That rate is bigger than anybody else on Forbes' list of billionaires.

He's increased his rate significantly since last year. As of February, activist investor extraordinaire Carl Icahn had earned half a million per day for his year life so far.

It's been a pretty solid year for Zuckerberg. The share price for Facebook has jumped 53 percent in the past 12 months, far outperforming other social-media stocks as well as the market at large.

Facebook did not respond to a request for comment on the birthday. As they announced the birth of their first child in December, Zuckerberg and his wife said they would eventually give away 99 percent of their stake in the social media company. That doesn't mean he'll renounce ownership or take a vow of poverty: The day before the company reported record high earnings , Zuckerberg announced a new class of nonvoting shares in Facebook, a move that gave the billionaire a firmer grip on the company.
