The combined wealth of the world's ten richest people increased by $64 billion in one day following Donald Trump's election victory. This marks the largest single-day rise in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index since its inception in 2012. Elon Musk saw the biggest gain, adding $26.5 billion to his fortune, now totaling $290 billion. Other notable increases included Jeff Bezos, who gained $7 billion, and Larry Ellison, who added nearly $10 billion. Mark Zuckerberg was the only top billionaire to lose wealth, dropping $81 million, while Bernard Arnault lost nearly $3 billion. The surge in wealth was driven by rising U.S. stock prices amid expectations of lower taxes and fewer regulations under the new administration.
