US billionaires have increased their net worth by $485 billion during the last 10 weeks of the pandemic, report says

Forbes reported in its annual billionaires survey

that US billionaire wealth fell from $3.111 trillion in 2019 to $2.947 trillion this year, a loss of $164 billion. But the Billionaire Bonanza report says these losses have been erased and total US billionaire wealth is now — as of May 28 — $3.439 trillion, a $485 billion increase since March 18 and a $328 billion increase from Forbes' 2019 global billionaire survey. David Herro was the world's best international stock picker for a decade straight. He breaks down 8 stocks he bet on after the coronavirus decimated markets — and 3 he sold.

"The surge in billionaire wealth during a global pandemic underscores the grotesque nature of unequal sacrifice. While millions risk their lives and livelihoods as first responders and front line workers, these billionaires benefit from an economy and tax system that is wired to funnel wealth to the top," the report said.

As billionaires have improved their net worths, millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet amid the pandemic.Do you have a personal experience with the coronavirus you'd like to share?
