Facebook loses users for the first time EVER: Shares plummet 20%, wiping $200BN off value of parent-firm Meta after it revealed 500,000 fewer daily log-ins and declining profits - Zuckerberg's personal wealth takes $29BN hit
CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes Facebook's decline in users is likely due to the boom in popularity of the competitor platform TikTok
Facebook reported a nearly half million drop in daily users during the last three months of 2021, with only 1.93 billion users logging in each day
Facebook's parent company, Meta, saw its stock plunge 22.6% during after-hours trading on Wednesday
If the drop holds until the market opens Thursday, the company's market capitalization - its overall value - is on track to drop by nearly $200 billion
Zuckerberg personally experienced a more than $29 billion loss when the company's stock fell Wednesday.
The falling stock prices come after the company's unexpectedly heavy spending on its Metaverse project led to a rare decline in its fourth-quarter profit
Zuckerberg describes Metaverse as a 'virtual environment' you can enter instead of just viewing it on a screen
