American high-tech billionaires were impoverished in 2022 as, according to the Washington Post, they lost $433 billion.
Elon Musk has lost 132 billion dollars with the fall of "Tesla" shares.
Despite this, Musk is 139 in the billion dollar quota.
Likewise, Jeff Bezos saw 84.1 billion go up in smoke, with the fall of almost 50% of Amazon's shares.
Even if Bezos is poorer he still has more than 100 billion, 108 to be exact.
Mark Zuckerberg burned 80.7 billion and dropped from sixth position to 25th place, worth only 44.8 billion.
The two founders of Google are also poorer: Larry Page and Sergey Brin have lost a total of almost 88 billion (44.8 billion Page and 43.4 billion Brin) and are now worth more than 80 billion each.
Things are no better for Bill Gates either.
The founder of Microsoft is impoverished by 28.7 billion and his wealth is now 109 billion.
