Gates-loses

The world’s richest man, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook, have lost $3.4 billion to the decision of the UK voters to leave the European Union.

According to Bloomberg Billionaires ranking, both men were the worst-hit billionaires in the United States, losing $1.8 billion and $1.6 billion respectively.

In context, the amount lost by Gates is more than the entire wealth of Nigeria’s richest woman, Folorunsho Alakija, who – according to Forbes – is worth $1.73 billion.

These 150 billionaires from the US and Canada lost $26.7 billion on Monday, and recorded a two-day total of $62.5 billion.

China’s 26 billionaires lost $1 billion Monday, bringing their two-day total loss to $5 billion, with a 7.4 percent ($18.7 billion) decline in 2016.
