He probably wouldn't.

Most of his net worth is probably from owning stakes in businesses, i.e. shares. If he started selling off shares to raise $100m in cash, then as a prominent figure that is going to cause panic which will negatively affect the share price. His remaining shares will be worth less, which means his net worth will also drop.

Facebook's share price dropped 5% with the outage on Monday. Zuckerberg's now worth about 6 or 7 billion less than he was at the weekend.


By the way, according to Forbes, Tan's net worth is about half that.
