The richest people on Earth are not immune to the coronavirus.
As the pandemic tightened its grip on Europe and America,
global equity markets imploded, tanking many fortunes. When
we finalized this list, Forbes counted 2,095 billionaires, 58
fewer than a year ago and 226 fewer than just 12 days earlier,
when we initially calculated these net worths. Of the billionaires
who remain, 51% are poorer than they were last year. In raw
terms, the world’s billionaires are worth $8 trillion, down $700
billion from 2019. https://oke.io/70z3k
