Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Meta – the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp – could receive $700m (£549m) a year in dividends from the company's first-ever dividend announced for investors.
On Thursday, Meta announced it would pay its first-ever quarterly dividend to investors since Facebook floated on the stock market in 2012, after beating Wall Street expectations with $40bn in revenues for the final quarter last year.
