However, this achievement was immediately reflected in a significant increase in the wealth of billionaires, where the wealth of the largest billionaires included in the “Bloomberg Billionaires Index” recorded an extraordinary increase.
Amid the backdrop of easing trade tensions and improving stock markets, the combined wealth of just ten. billionaires increased by more than $ 83.7 billion.
Former Facebook and current Meta co-founder Mark Zuckerberg was the biggest gainer on the list, with a $16.1 billion increase in his wealth. This puts him within striking distance of second-place Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who is worth $14.3 billion.
The world’s richest person and Tesla founder Elon Musk also saw his wealth rise by $14.5 billion, as even small changes in the stock market can have a big impact on his wealth.
According to Al Arabiya Business, the list was dominated by technology-related billionaires, with only three people outside the sector. The most prominent of them was French billionaire and Europe’s richest person Bernard Arnault, whose wealth increased by $7.1 billion on Tuesday. In addition, Indian billionaires Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani also added $4.42 billion and $5.31 billion to their wealth, respectively, due to the recent peace between India and Pakistan.
