Following Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, several of the world’s wealthiest people have significantly enriched their accounts. Thus, Tesla CEO Elon Musk received the largest profit – in just one day, his wealth increased by $26.5 billion.
Bloomberg reports that the reason for this was the incredible growth in the assets of many companies after the US election. In particular, Tesla’s shares in New York rose by 15% in trading, increasing the increase over the past year to 32%.
The publication estimates that Trump’s victory brought a record $63.5 billion to several other tycoons. In addition to Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos improved his fortune, becoming $7 billion richer.
The co-founder of Oracle Corporation Larry Ellison, whose fortune increased by almost $10 billion per day; Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett, who received $7.58 billion; Google co-founder Larry Page with an increase of $5.53 billion, and the founder of the Binance crypto exchange Changpeng Zhao, whose capital increased by $12.1 billion per day.
By the way, Musk, according to Western media reports, has invested heavily in Trump’s election campaign. Elon sponsored the Republican for $130 million, and in return, Trump promised to appoint Musk to an official government position.
