Earlier this month, European fashion mogul Bernard Arnault overtook Musk as the world's wealthiest person.

Between March 2020 and November 2021, the world's billionaires added $5 trillion to their wealth.

According to Forbes, the losses in America were caused by a dive in tech stock value, rising interest rates, and a weakened economy.
