The wealth of the 10 richest people in the world – a list dominated by US tech billionaires – increased by a record amount after Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, according to a widely cited index.
The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimated that the world’s 10 wealthiest people gained nearly $64bn (about £49.5bn) on Wednesday, the largest daily increase since the index began in 2012.
Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, registered the largest increase with a $26.5bn addition to his fortune, which now stands at $290bn. The prominent backer of Trump’s campaign, benefited from a surge in the share price of Tesla, the electric carmaker where he is chief executive and in which he owns a 13% stake.
Thats the problem with Anarchy is they have resources and you don’t so in open warfare they win every time.
You could try to form a large organization pooling resources for a specialized fighting force but…
Oh look, half of the USA just voted alongside the Billionaires. Looks like we’re outnumbered.
Meh it only takes one person pulling a trigger to end a billionaire’s life. Not that I am advocating that, but there is no real way to protect themselves from the masses unless they go hide in a bunker.
We’re at 5 and counting potential Donald Trump assassins thwarted so far. Thats at least 500% over estimate, yikes.
Elon Musk probably isn’t that much easier of a target, I’m sure he pays good money to be guarded, but maybe.
One kid with no help or formal training almost blew his head off. They are way more vulnerable than you can imagine.
