Coronavirus has afflicted the world's richest people over the past week due to the panic and terror that has gripped investors during their trading in the global stock markets.
The world's rich losses due to corona
The "Bloomberg" list revealed that the fortunes of the 500 richest people around the world had decreased by a total of $ 444 billion during the past week alone.
These extreme losses are due to the wave of panic in the markets sparked by the spread of the coronavirus in more than 50 countries in the world in conjunction with raising the World Health Organization assessment of the risk of the virus to "very high".
American billionaire, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos came on top of the list of losers, as his fortune declined by $ 11.9 billion to $ 116 billion.

Microsoft's CEO also suffered losses of $10 billion, and french billionaire Bernard Arnault's fortune slumped by $9.1 billion.
In fourth place among the losers, billionaire Elon Musk lost $9 billion, and billionaire Warren Buffett suffered losses of $8.8 billion from his total wealth.
Bloomberg noted that the world's richest people suffered losses of $139 billion of their total wealth last Monday only because of the panic over the spread of coronavirus.
These losses are the largest for the world's wealthy since 2016, at a time when investors are in a state of panic and anxiety over the new coronavirus and its impact on the global economy of nations, the agency said.
