Eight technical titans have taken a slap of $ 266 billion this year in their collective wealth.
-
Their combined net value fell by $ 64 billion on Monday, because the Nasdaq had the worst day since 2022.

Elon Musk had $ 132 billion, or 30% of his fortune, deleted in 2025 after the stock of Tesla.
Eight technical billionaires have seen their combined fortunes shrink this year with estimate $ 266 billion, while President Donald Trump’s policy continues to sharpen investors.
That figure exceeds the market value of most of the largest companies in America, including Salesforce, McDonald’s and Wells Fargo.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk leads the list of power losers, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The richest person in the world had $ 132 billion, or 30% of his fortune, wiped out in the last 10 weeks after the 45% slide in Tesla shares in that period.
Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Larry Ellison of Oracle, Dell Technologies’ Michael Dell and Jensen Huang of Nvidia have each seen more than $ 20 billion this year that have been erased from their respective assets, because the stock prices of their companies have fallen. Amazon and Oracle both descend by around 11%, while Dell and Nvidia are set north of 20%.
Completion of the group are co -founders of Alphabet Larry Page and Sergey Brin – this year about $ 18 billion and $ 17 billion fall after a decrease of 12% in shares of the parent company of Google – and Steve Ballmer, which drops around $ 13 billion after a 10% decrease in Microsoft shares.
The collective capacity of the eight Tech Titans only fell by $ 64 billion on Monday, because the Nasdaq Composite fell 4%, the steepest one -day loss since 2022.
The sale was fueled by Trump warning that there would be a “period of transition” for the American economy in a FOX News interview on Sunday.
The president did not broadcast a recession when he was asked if he expected one this year. He said his focus was on strengthening America and achieving prosperity in the long term: “You can’t really look at the stock market.”
Trump’s radical economic agenda is aimed at leveling American trade relations with the help of rates, limiting immigration, eliminating regulations, reducing taxes and reducing the federal government. His policy has re -created inflation and the worries for recession.
The increased uncertainty has tempered the Buzz around AI that had lifted technical shares and the wider market to register highlights this year. A consequence is that the world’s 16 richest people are worth $ 236 billion less than at the beginning of January after a decrease of $ 87 billion on Monday, according to the rich List of Bloomberg.
