Top Billionaires See Net Worths Decline
8.2
All but two of the world's 10 richest people have seen their fortunes shrink so far in 2026, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index shows. Oracle's Larry Ellison lost $47 billion to $200 billion and Amazon's Jeff Bezos fell $15 billion to $239 billion amid investor skepticism over costly AI buildouts and tech stock selloffs. Elon Musk and Jim Walton were among the few who gained, driven by SpaceX/xAI and Walmart stock.
Key Points
