Musk, Bezos, Gates and other richest people on the planet lost billions of dollars in a week

Bloomberg reports that the richest people on Earth have lost billions of dollars over the past week. The reason was the fall in the shares of a number of companies against the backdrop of a possible increase in interest rates in the US.

For example, Elon Musk's fortune has decreased by $25 billion and amounts to $243 billion. Moreover, the Tesla CEO lost about $12.5 billion over the past day.

In second place in the list of the richest people in the world is Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. His fortune is estimated at $ 168 billion, having decreased by $ 20 billion in a week. Bernard Arnault, head of Louis Vuitton Moet Hennesy, who now lags behind Bezos by only $ 1 billion, closes the top three.

We also note that Bill Gates, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Warren Buffett, Steve Ballmer and Larry Ellison, who are among the ten richest people on the planet, lost a total of about $ 18 billion per day.
