The coronavirus reduces and impoverishes the world's scoundrels: they are worth a total of 8,000 billion dollars, about 700 billion less than in 2019, and they are only - at 18 March - 2,095, or 58 less than the year and 226 less than just 12 days before.
Despite his multibillion-dollar divorce, Jeff Bezos remains the richest in the world for the third consecutive year. Bill Gates follows him while Bernard Arnault climbs to third place, overtaking Warren Buffett relegating him to fourth position. Among the Italians the king of Nutella Giovanni Ferrero is the richest, followed by Leonardo del Vecchio.
Taking the photograph of the scoundrels is the annual Forbes ranking, in which 51% of the billionaires reviewed are poorer than last year. Qin Yinglin made the biggest jump in the standings: he is in 43rd position with an estimated fortune of 18.5 billion dollars, or 14.2 billion more than in 2019 thanks to the boom in the stock market of his Muyan Foods . Among the eminent releases from the 2020 ranking is that of Adam Neumann, the founder of WeWork. Among the 278 new entries is Eric Yuan , the founder and CEO of Zoom Vide or Communications, the online service that is exploding with the coronavirus emergency that forces over four billion people home. The United States remains the country with the highest number of billionaires, 614, followed by China which counts, including Hong Kong and Macao, 456.
With a fortune of 113 billion dollars, Bezos is confirmed as the world's scoundrel in a top ten with an American majority except for Arnault third with 76 billion and Amancio Ortega, the patron of Zara, sixth with 55.1 billion. Mark Zuckerberg is seventh with 54.7 billion, while the eighth, ninth and tenth positions are in the hands of members of the Walton family, the one behind the giant Walmart. Donald Trump is 1,001 in the standings with 2.1 billion dollars, thus looking at the 'enemy' owner of the Washington Post Bezos from afar.
Among Italians, Ferrero is 32nd in the general classification with 24.5 billion dollars. The Del Vecchio family follows him at a distance: he is in 62nd position with 16.1 billion. Stefano Pessina is the third richest in Italy, and 133rd in the general classification, with 10.2 billion. Silvio Berlusconi occupies the 308th position with 5.3 billion. Miuccia Prada is 945ma.
