For the first time in 25 years, American Forbes, for the first time in 25 years, did not include the former US President Donald Trump in the ranking of the richest billionaires of the country – he flew out of the list due to the reduction of the state against the background of the coronavirus pandemic, reports the publication.
When drawing up a new list, Forbes appreciated the state of the 45th president of 2.5 billion dollars. In order to get to the new rating, the tramp lacked 400 million dollars. In 2020, the former president of the United States held the 339th place in the ranking, but from the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, its condition decreased by 600 million dollars. Then Trump went down on 64 lines in the ranking.
From 1997 to 2016, Trump held the place in the first half of the Forbes 400 rating, but after the election of the country’s president in 2017 began to lose positions. The presidency hurts the billionaire’s wallet – his condition fell by quarter (3 to 2.3 billion dollars). The strongest blow to the businessman inflicted a coronavirus pandemic and related restrictions: the key assets of Trump are resorts, hotels and office buildings, whose value has been significantly reduced.
First place in the Forbes 400 rating keeps the richest man on the planet, the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos with a state of 201 billion dollars. It follows the creator of Tesla Ilon Mask from 190.5 billion dollars and head of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, the state of which decreased by $ 6.6 billion after the failures of social networking on October 4, reaching $ 134.5 billion.
