The ten richest people worldwide saw their fortunes surge as Donald Trump won a second presidential term, with a record $63.5 billion added to their combined net worth on Wednesday. Tesla's Elon Musk led the list, gaining over $26 billion. Tesla shares jumped 15% Wednesday, pushing their yearly gains to 32%. Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Coinbase's Brian Armstrong, and Oracle’s Larry Ellison also saw major increases. The gains follow a 2.5% spike in the S&P 500, as markets anticipate Trump’s return will favor lower taxes and lighter regulation.
