Wealth wipeout from market meltdown reshapes ranks of world’s richest people

The wealth destruction caused by Monday’s market collapse is reshaping the ranks of the world’s richest people.

While these energy moguls are taking the biggest shellacking in percentage terms, losses have cascaded across industries and continents. The world’s 500 richest people lost a combined US$203 billion through the first 96 minutes of trading in the U.S. That’s the biggest daily plunge since the index began tracking the number in October 2016. The losses include declines in publicly traded assets and estimated drops in the values of private companies — as is the case with Hildebrand’s Hilcorp Energy — that Bloomberg calculates using public peers.

Who the hell cares about the super rich. They NEVER hesitate to screw workers to make an extra nickle, I couldn't care less about their temporary set back. cdnpoli onpoli
