Read Original Source
The world's richest people saw their net worth once again skyrocket as the stock market surged on Wednesday following the news that President Donald Trump had rolled back his aggressive tariff plan that had, in recent weeks, sent the market into a tailspin. Together, the top 10 wealthiest people saw a combined $135.33 billion rally in their personal fortunes on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg's Billionaire index. Tesla CEO Elon Musk saw the largest single-day gains, raking in $35.
AI Summary
