The wealth of the world’s top billionaires is getting a tsunami. From number one billionaire Bernard Arnault to Jeff Bezos… from Bill Gates to Warren Buffett, all the rich have lost huge chunks of their wealth in the last 24 hours. Amazon owner Jeff Bezos has suffered the most, while Bernard Arnault is second in terms of property loss. The special thing is that while the net worth of all the rich has declined sharply, the wealth of Indian industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani has increased. Let’s take a look at the latest ups and downs in the billionaires list.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, 18 of the top 20 richest people lost their wealth in the last 24 hours. Jeff Bezos suffered the biggest loss, losing $19.8 billion in his net worth, or roughly Rs. 1,63,909 crore has decreased. With this decline, his net worth has come down to $139 billion. However, Bezos is still the third richest person in the world. In terms of loss of property, the number of world’s richest person Bernard Arnault comes. In the last 24 hours, he has lost $ 11.2 billion i.e. about Rs 92,000 crore. With this, the net worth of the French billionaire has reached below $200 billion.
Jeff Bezos has both joy and sorrow at the same time. According to reports, Bezos has got engaged to his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez. The couple is currently at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival in France and their engagement rumors have been doing the rounds after Sanchez was spotted with a heart-shaped ring on her finger. Please tell that both are dating each other from the year 2018. In the midst of this happiness, such a huge decline in the wealth of Jeff Bezos is nothing less than a tragedy.
This wealth tsunami has even narrowed the gap between Bernard Arnold and Elon Musk for the number one position. However, Musk’s net worth is $2.22 billion. 18,379 crore has been recorded and it has come down to $180 billion. Furthermore, the wealth gap between the two top billionaires has narrowed to just $12 billion. As for other billionaires with losses, Bill Gates lost $1.02 billion, Warren Buffett $2.19 billion, Larry Ellison $2.90 billion and Larry Page $1.95 billion in the past 24 hours.
