US economy newspaper announces world's millionaires "Billionaires" decrease in new corona April 8 12:39
Forbes, an American economic magazine, has published the rankings of the world's richest man, with Amazon.com's top Jeff Bezos topping the list for three consecutive years. However, the number of people with more than $ 1 billion in assets has declined since the previous year, and the spread of the new coronavirus, including a sharp drop in stock prices, seems to be affecting the world's richest people.
According to that, the top is Bezos CEO of Amazon, which has assets of $ 113 billion and Japanese yen of 12.2 trillion yen, down $ 18 billion from last year. This was due to Bezos's divorce sharing his fortune with his ex-wife and a drop in stock prices due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
Microsoft Gates founder Bill Gates is $ 98 billion, 10,580 billion yen.
With brands such as Louis Vuitton, Bernard Arnaud, chairman of LVMH, which decided to acquire Tiffany in the United States last year, ranked third for the first time at $ 76 billion or 8.2 trillion yen.
Forbes reported that the number of wealth holders with more than $ 1 billion in assets, known as `` billionaires, '' decreased from 2,153 last year to 2,095, of which more than half had reduced their assets since the previous year. "The richest people in the world could not escape the violence of the new coronavirus."
In addition, the highest rank among Japanese is Tadashi Yanai, chairman and president of Fast Retailing, a UNIQLO company, with assets of $ 19.7 billion and 41st in Japanese yen of ¥ 2.1 trillion.
Next, Takemitsu Takizaki, founder of Keyence, which is a manufacturer of measurement equipment and headquartered in Osaka City, ranked 47th at $ 17.4 billion, worth ¥ 1,870 billion.
