After the introduction of new duties by US President Donald Trump, the 500 richest people in the world have sharply decreased by $ 536 billion in just two days. According to Bloomberg, techno -giants and entrepreneurs who have an international component were most affected.
The largest financial loss was suffered by Ilon Musk, who lost $ 31 billion due to the fall in his company Tesla. The capital of the mask decreased by more than 10%, and the annual losses of the company reached $ 130 billion. This happened after the introduction of new duties, which experts noted, have greatly influenced the shares of high -tech companies, including those with large international operations.
Meta Platforms Stocks Mark Zuckerberg also did not avoid the negative impact of new duties. In two days, their value fell by almost 14%, which led to losses of $ 27 billion. Reducing the value of the stock of the largest technological giants indicates a wide reaction of the market to new US economic measures.
The CEO of the online store of carvana used carnest Garcia III has also suffered from the introduction of new duties. After reducing their capital by $ 2 billion, Garcia was expelled from the list of 500 richest people in the world. Garcia has fallen by 28%, which was another example of the impact of changes in the US customs policy on global business.
According to estimates, almost 90% of billionaires have decreased by 3.5% after the introduction of new Trump duties. The total loss of capital as a result of the introduction of duties of $ 329 billion has become the largest COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which indicates the serious impact of US economic decisions on the world economy. However, not all companies have suffered losses. For example, Nike's shares increased by 2.8% after Trump reported a "very productive conversation" with a Vietnamese leader, a lamp for a possible cancellation of 46% of the tariff. Vietnam is an important production platform for Nike, so cancellation of duties can have a positive effect on the financial results of the company. Donald Trump called April 2, 2025, "the Day of Renaissance US Industry" and promised that new duties would lead to "the beginning of a new wealth" for America. However, US stock futures quickly responded to this statement with a sharp fall. Exchange funds (ETF), which monitor major market indexes, also recorded a decrease that confirms the negative impact of such economic measures on the financial markets. In commodity markets there is also a sharp increase in gold prices, which indicates increased uncertainty and finding more stable assets investors.
The introduction of new duties under the direction of Donald Trump has significantly influenced the world economy, in particular the richest people of the planet. The loss of billions of dollars in just a few days is the result of changes in customs policy can significantly affect the financial markets. However, as with every economic reform, the consequences for the global business still have to be evaluated in the long run.
