Plunging stock markets are exacting a toll on the world's biggest fortunes.
The 400 richest people have lost $305 billion from their combined net worth this month as global equities tumbled for the worst start to a year on record as concern mounts that global growth is faltering.
The billionaires lost more than $115 billion last week, with 76 taking hits of at least $1 billion in January, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Seven shed more than $1 billion on Friday alone as the Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 391 points, European stocks fell into a bear market and the Shanghai Composite Index wiped out gains from an unprecedented state-rescue campaign.
Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos led decliners on the Bloomberg index, losing $8.9 billion since January 1 and $1.9 billion on Friday when the Internet retailer declined 3.85 per cent.
Bill Gates, the world's richest person, has lost $6.8 billion of his net worth this year and Wang Jianlin, China's richest person, is down $6.4 billion.
Only nine of the 400 billionaires have increased their net worth in 2016, led by Indian oil billionaire Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Mumbai-based Reliance Industries, who's added $620 million.
The combined net worth of the 400 billionaires is $3.6 trillion, a 16 per cent decline from their peak of $4.3 billion on May 18, 2015. - Bloomberg
