Headed

While US President Donald Trump was taking the constitutional oath on January 20, he was surrounded by some of the richest people in the world. The billionaires who attended that day – including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg – were not richer than ever before, as they were spreading with great gains from flourishing stock markets.
According to the Bloomberg Agency, after seven weeks, the story differed. The beginning of Trump’s second term led to a stunning reflection for many of these billionaires sitting behind Trump in the round hall in the Capitol building, where five of them lost a percentage of their wealth with a total of 209 billion dollars, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index..
The period between Trump’s election and installation was a blessing for the world’s wealthy, as the S & B 500 has registered its highest level ever. Investors, on stock markets and digital currencies, expect Trump’s policies to be useful for business.
The share of Tesla, owned by a mask, increased by 98% in the weeks that followed the elections, and recorded a high record level.
A company added LVMH Areno owned 7% a week that was previously inaugurated, making the French pole richer worth $ 12 billion. Even the Mita Platforms Company owned by Zuckerberg, which banned Trump from the social media platform in 2021, increased by 9% before the start of the new state and an additional 20% in the first four weeks of taking office.
However, all expectations were reflected that the start of the Trump State period will continue to boost market returns. The Standard & Poor’s 500 has lost 6.4% since he took office, as the collective demobilization of government employees and the President’s decline in customs definitions led to stock disturbance, as the standard index fell by 2.7% on Monday.
The companies that were behind the wealth of those present at the inauguration ceremony were among the largest losers, as their market value has decreased combined by $ 1.39 trillion since January 17, the last day of trading before inauguration. Below is a look at some of these wealth:
Elon Musk loses 148 billion
