On Wednesday, the world's 10 richest individuals experienced a significant increase in their wealth, as reported by Bloomberg's Billionaire Index. The top gainer was Elon Musk, the wealthiest person globally and a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, whose wealth surged by $26.5 billion to reach $290 billion. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, saw his wealth grow by $7.1 billion, just a week after defending his decision regarding the Washington Post's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle and another Trump supporter, witnessed a rise of $5.5 billion in his net worth.
Other notable gainers included former Microsoft executives Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, former Google executives Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Although these billionaires did not endorse any candidate in the recent election, they have previously expressed support for Democratic candidates and causes.
