"Trump's Truth Social Stock Plunge Removes Him from Bloomberg Billionaires Index"

Donald Trump has dropped off Bloomberg's list of the world's 500 wealthiest people as the value of his meme stock, TMTG, plummeted, causing his net worth to fall below the required threshold. Trump's wealth surged earlier this year due to his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, but the stock's 53% decline in two weeks has led to a significant decrease in his net worth. This comes as Trump faces a $454 million judgment in a New York fraud case and a $175 million bond demand while he appeals the decision.

"Bezos Ousts Musk as No. 1 on Bloomberg Billionaires Ranking"

Jeff Bezos surpassed Elon Musk as the world's wealthiest billionaire with a personal fortune of $200.3 billion, according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. Bezos' rise to the top spot was attributed to Amazon's stock performance, which has increased over 17% since the start of 2024. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's net worth of $197.7 billion, largely from Tesla holdings, saw a $2.6 billion decrease, with Tesla's stock declining over 27% in 2024. The small gap between their net worths means their positions on the list could easily change based on Amazon and Tesla's stock performance.
