Description:
$14.2 trillion, on Forbes’ 2024 World’s Billionaires list—but not everyone is celebrating. An unlucky quarter of those on the ranking are poorer than they were in 2023. And 189 people fell below the $1 billion threshold, losing their membership to the three-comma club entirely.<br/><br/>These billionaire drop-offs include moguls behind some notable brands, such as Estée Lauder heir Gary Lauder; Hajime Satomi, former CEO of Japanese gaming company Sega Sammy; and David Tran, owner of the company behind Sriracha hot sauce.<br/><br/>The overwhelming majority of the losses came from China, one of the few huge markets to sputter in an otherwise-positive year amid fallout from slower economic growth, a property market glut, a decline in foreign investment and rising geopolitical tensions. China shed 133 billionaires (including Hong Kong and Macau) since last year’s list. That includes Tang Binsen, founder of the sparkling water company Chi Forest; Hui Ka Yan, chair of embattled real estate developer Evergrande Group; and copper and cable magnate Wang Wenyin, who was worth $19 billion a year ago but dropped from the list after a Chinese court froze his shares of metals company Amer International Group.<br/><br/>The United States, meanwhile, which has the most billionaires of any country, only saw eight billionaires drop from the ranks, followed by Japan (6) and Russia (5).<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/richardjchang/2024/04/02/heres-who-fell-off-forbes-2024-billionaires-list/?sh=5134cd861fd0<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
