Even the rich cry, or at least some. The stock market crash of the last few days has also affected i super billionaires: according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the 400 richest men in the world in the past week have lost a total of 182 billion dollars, just under 500 million each on average.

There are eleven members of the most exclusive club in the world who, overwhelmed by the Chinese crisis, still managed to earn money during the black week of the markets. Among them stands out the name of the owner of Sun Pharmaceuticals Dilip shanghvi.
Shanghvi, who is the 467th richest man in the world, saw his wealth increase by $19 million over the past week, and now his net worth is close to $XNUMX billion.
Crying, however, there is definitely Warren Buffett, holder of the world's third largest fortune (63,4 billion dollars), which had to face a loss of 3,6 billion dollars following the setbacks on the markets of its Berkshire Hathaway holding, which lost 5% on the stock market .
In trouble too Ivan Glasenberg, CEO of the Glencore mining company, which is being weighed down by the collapse in the price of raw materials, to its lowest level in 13 years now. Glasenberg, who lost $237 million in the last week, saw his fortune erode about 40% in 2015, falling to $3,1 billion.
Suffering, of course, are also the Chinese billionaires, who are paying for the collapse of their country's market. China's 26 richest men lost a combined $18,8 billion in the past week. The hardest hit was Wang Jianlin, owner of Dalian Wanda commercial properties Co., who lost 3,5 billion.
