The world’s 10 richest people lost a combined $273 billion over the past month, as tech stocks took a hit.
Elon Musk saw the biggest decline, with his fortune falling by an estimated $68 billion to $869 billion. Still, he remains the world’s richest person, worth more than twice as much as No. 2 Jeff Bezos, whose fortune dipped to $361 billion.
Google cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin were also among the biggest losers, shedding an estimated $53 billion and $49 billion, respectively. In total, eight of the top 10 saw their fortunes decline, though no one changed spots in the ranking.
Forbes has been tracking the world’s billionaires since 1987. As of November 1, 2026, the 10 richest people on earth are worth a combined $2.8 trillion, down from $3.1 trillion last month.
