Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has appointed 28-year-old Alexandr Wang — after investing in his $14 billion AI company Scale AI — to lead Meta's new AI division, Meta Superintelligence Labs. The appointment has landed Wang on Forbes' Under-40 self-made billionaires list, with his net worth reaching approximately $3.2 billion USD as of early 2026. Born in the US to physicist parents, Alexandr Wang dropped out of MIT and founded Scale AI at the age of 19. Scale AI has supplied data to major companies including NVIDIA, Amazon, and Meta, growing to a valuation of nearly $14 billion by 2024, making him one of the youngest self-made billionaires in the world. Wang will now oversee Meta's AI research, infrastructure, and product development under Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). Meta hopes to leverage Scale AI's data expertise to compete with OpenAI and Google DeepMind, and to realize its ambition of achieving "superintelligence." Ref: Financial Express
