Don’t worry! He’s still the richest man on the planet, but he’s less richer than everybody else than last year. Other losers on this year’s Forbes 400 include Paul Allen, who lost $US4.5 billion, Michael Dell, who lost $US2.8 billion, and Steve Ballmer, who lost $US1.7 billion.
Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, unlike all the other tech mavens on the list who lost money, actually made $US100 million this year, bringing his value up to $US8.8 billion. Good for him! I’m sure that made a f–king difference. [Forbes via Fortune]
