Bill Gates Removed From The Second Place As The Richest Man In The World
Previously, Bill Gates was named the first richest person in the world, but some time ago he was evicted by the richest person in the world, namely Jeff Bezos, so that Bill Gates was in second position. But recently Bill Gates was again removed from the second position according to the list of the richest people according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The person who replaced Gates was Bernard Arnault, CEO of the luxury fashion company LVMH or Louis Vuitton SE. Arnault. Based on a report from Bloomberg, Bernard’s current wealth is USD 108 billion.
But the difference in wealth is not much different between the two, where Bill Gates has assets of USD 107 billion. While Jeff Bezos still occupies the first position with a wealth of USD 125 billion.
As Dafunda Tekno quoted from CNN, Arnault has succeeded in bringing LVMH as the biggest fashion company. That way he owns half of the shares of the company.
But what you need to know, Bill Gates is actually still the richest person in the world and can beat Bezos if he doesn’t spend a lot of money on charity. Bloomberg noted that the total wealth donated was USD 35 billion through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
