Billionaires at Trump’s swearing-in have since lost $209 billion
As Donald Trump took the oath of office on Jan. 20, he was flanked by some of the world’s wealthiest people. The billionaires present that day — including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg — had never been richer, flush with big gains from frothy stock markets.
Summary
Since Trump’s second-term inauguration, five top billionaires have lost a combined $209 billion as markets react to policy uncertainty.

Elon Musk’s net worth plunged $148 billion as Tesla shares collapsed amid declining European and Chinese sales.
-
Jeff Bezos lost $29 billion as Amazon stock fell 14%.
-
Sergey Brin’s fortune dropped $22 billion following Alphabet’s weak earnings and regulatory pressure.
-
Mark Zuckerberg and Bernard Arnault each lost $5 billion as Meta and LVMH stocks tumbled.
