Top 10 Richest Lose $172 Billion in Three Days Amid Market Turmoil

The world's 10 wealthiest individuals collectively lost $172 billion in the last three days, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This downturn follows recent tariff announcements, which triggered an 11% drop in the S&P 500. Since the start of 2025, the top 10 have seen their combined wealth decrease by over $350 billion. Elon Musk experienced the largest decline, losing $135 billion during this period. Elon Musk's net worth decreased by $35 billion in three days, now standing at $298 billion. Jeff Bezos's fortune fell by $21 billion to $196 billion. Mark Zuckerberg's wealth declined by $24 billion to $183 billion. Warren Buffett saw the smallest decrease, with a $14 billion drop over three days but an increase of $12 billion year-to-date. Other notable declines include Bernard Arnault (down $19 billion), Bill Gates (down $13 billion), and Larry Ellison (down $21 billion). Market volatility and sector-specific downturns in luxury goods and technology have contributed to these significant wealth reductions.
