Zuckerberg’s Metaverse to Lose ‘Significant’ Money in Near Term

Mark Zuckerberg said he plans to invest heavily in his company’s metaverse ambitions and that will mean losing “significant” amounts of money on the project in the next three to five years.

The metaverse, an immersive digital world, will eventually make money from a creator economy, as people build businesses selling virtual goods and services, the Meta Platforms Inc. chief executive officer said, responding to a question about return on investment at the company’s annual shareholder meeting Wednesday.
