Trump has made the richest men on the planet lose a lot of money. He detects the Bloomberg index of billionaires, according to which since the US president has been overwhelmed by FBI-Russiagate scandal the world's top 500 scrooges saw their wealth plummet by a combined $35 billion. The markets have in fact collapsed and it was the big players in finance who paid the consequences, starting with Trump's fellow citizens like Bill Gates, who lost 1 billion dollars (from 87,8 to 86,8 billion of personal assets). following the -2,8% recorded by Microsoft, the largest drop for a year now; while for example Amazon's -2,2% cost patron Jeff Bezos 1,7 billion.
Worst of all, however, went to the founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, who in a few days saw his assets reduced by as much as 2 billion dollars after the -3,3% recorded on the stock market by the most famous social network in the Western world. However, Zuckerberg remains the fifth richest person in the world with $62,3 billion in assets. It also went badly for Amancio Ortega, Zara's number one and second richest man in the world right behind Bill Gates: he lost 355 million dollars following the excesses of the financial markets, these days strongly disturbed by an increasingly possible Trump's impeachment.
Also close to or around a billion dollars are the losses for other giants of US and world finance, such as Warren Buffett, Carlos Slim (who lost 1,13 billion), the Google duo Larry Page and Sergey Brin (-900 million each ) and Larry Ellison, owner of Oracle. On the other hand, the richest men in Asia have enriched themselves, ironically of fate: the number one of the tlc Hutchison Holdings, Li Ka-Shing (citizen of Hong Kong), and the Chinese Wang Jianlin (Dalian Wanda Group) and Pony Ma (Tencent), all three in the top 30 of planetary scrooges. Stable George Soros while John Ferrero, the first Italian and 30th richest man in the world according to Bloomberg, lost 117 million and his assets thus fell below 30 billion dollars.
