Zuckerberg net worth: ~$78b.

Mean US neurosurgeon annual income: ~$600k

So Zuckerberg is worth 130K neurosurgeon-years. Neurosurgeons are the highest compensated surgery specialty [1].

In the US there are a total of 50k surgeons of any type [2].

Does anyone think that Zuckerberg created, with his own hands, >=3x the annual economic output of all US surgeons?
