Snapchat“閱后即焚”的照片恰如其分地反映了公司首席執(zhí)行官個(gè)人財(cái)富的跌宕起伏。

上周三股市收盤后,，Snapchat母公司發(fā)布了公司上市后的第一份季度財(cái)報(bào)，結(jié)果令人失望,。幾乎一眨眼，公司身價(jià)數(shù)十億的共同創(chuàng)始人就損失了上億美元,。

上周開盤時(shí),，Snap股價(jià)暴跌23%,，26歲的斯皮格爾的個(gè)人凈資產(chǎn)在一夜之間蒸發(fā)了12.2億美元。根據(jù)他向美國證券交易委員會(huì)最近披露的信息,，現(xiàn)在他的身價(jià)大約為43.5億美元。

斯皮格爾的凈資產(chǎn)主要來源于他在Snap中所持的股份,。自公司3月上市以來,，股價(jià)持續(xù)波動(dòng),。多頭和空頭勢力對于該公司股價(jià)持截然相反的態(tài)度，多頭認(rèn)為該公司深受青少年喜愛,，具有強(qiáng)大的延展性，空頭則認(rèn)為公司盈利不佳,，用戶基礎(chǔ)增長緩慢,。

Snapchat上星期三公布的財(cái)報(bào)證實(shí)了空頭的觀點(diǎn),。它的日活躍用戶為1.66億人，與去年第一季度相比上漲36%,，然而公司上上季度的用戶增長達(dá)到了48%,。與此同時(shí),，公司該季度收入為1.5億美元，虧損高達(dá)22億美元,，他們燒錢的速度太快了。

斯皮格爾握有公司約44%的股權(quán),，他對上述數(shù)據(jù)并未表現(xiàn)出擔(dān)憂。在周三的收入電話會(huì)議上,，當(dāng)被問及是否懼怕來自Facebook的競爭時(shí), 他笑著回應(yīng)道：

“雅虎雖然也有搜索框，但這并不意味著它可以成為谷歌,?！彼谶@里指的是Facebook新推出的具有增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)功能的相機(jī)應(yīng)用,，這與Snap形成了直接競爭的關(guān)系。

不過從歷史的角度看,，F(xiàn)acebook已經(jīng)在另一方面擊敗了Snapchat,。

Snap第一次發(fā)布季度財(cái)報(bào)后,，次日股市開盤時(shí)股價(jià)暴跌23%，而Facebook第一次發(fā)布季度財(cái)報(bào)后,，股價(jià)下跌只有14%。當(dāng)時(shí),，F(xiàn)acebook的首席執(zhí)行官馬克·扎克伯格損失了16億美元個(gè)人資產(chǎn),，身價(jià)跌至約119億美元,。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Snap's disappearing photos are strangely appropriate for the volatility of its CEO's wealth.

After the market's close Wednesday, the parent company of Snapchat announced disappointing earnings for its first quarterly report as a public company. And in the blink of an eye, the billionaire co-founder of Snap (snap, -21.67%) had lost hundreds of millions of dollars.

By the market's open on Thursday, Snap's stock was down 23%, and the 26-year-old had shed about $1.22 billion overnight from his net worth. Spiegel is now worth roughly $4.35 billion, based on his most recent disclosures with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Spiegel's net worth is largely derived from his stake in Snap — a stock that has been highly volatile since going public in early March. The company has sharply divided the bulls and the bears, with bulls pointing to the company's popularity among teens and scalability, while bears have pointed to the the company's lack of profits, and weak growth in its user base.

Snapchat's earnings Wednesday only helped fuel the bears, revealing that it had 166 million daily active users, a 36% increase in the first quarter compared to a year ago. In the quarter before however, the company grew that figure by 48%. Meanwhile, the company has been burning fuel, losing $2.2 billion in the quarter on revenue of $150 million.

Not that Spiegel, who controls roughly 44% of the company, sounds worried. When asked during Snap's earnings call Wednesday if he felt worried about Facebook, Spiegel laughed.

"At the end of the day, just because Yahoo has a search box, it doesn't mean they're Google," he said, referring to Facebook's new camera feature with augmented reality — which puts the company in direct competition with Snap.

Still, there's another way Facebook is already historically beating Snapchat.

While Snap's stock dropped 23% by the market's open following its first-ever quarterly earnings report, Facebook's stock dropped about 14%. CEO Mark Zuckerberg also shed $1.6 billion off his wealth at the time — leaving him with roughly $11.9 billion.
