Turned out grey again

And the day started out so well too. Especially if you were one of the world’s 10 wealthiest people as they gained nearly $64bn (about £49.5bn). Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, registered the largest increase with a $26.5bn addition to his fortune. His endorsement of Trump's campaign has paid off for him it would seem.

The top ten billionaires are:

1. Elon Musk $290bn (+10.1%)
2. Jeff Bezos $228.3bn (+3.2%)
3. Mark Zuckerberg $202.5bn (0%)*
4. Larry Ellison $193.5bn (+5.4%)
5. Bernard Arnault $173.2bn (-1.6%)
6. Bill Gates $159.5bn (+1.2%)
7. Larry Page $158.3bn (+3.6%)
8. Sergey Brin $149.1bn (+3.6%)
9. Warren Buffett $147.8bn (+5.4%)
10. Steve Ballmer $145.9bn (+2%)

* Zuckerberg’s wealth dipped slightly by $81m although he is still worth $202bn. He had drawn Trump’s anger in August (apparently an easy thing to do). Trump threatened to jail him for life for allegedly plotting against him in the 2020 election.
