Herland Report: During US President Joe Biden’s first hundred days in office, the wealthiest billionaire Americans have – as expected – become one of the main beneficiaries of his presidency.
The combined net worth of the top 100 ultra-rich people in the US has skyrocketed by $195 billion since Biden took office, according to Bloomberg. From his election to his inauguration, they added $267 billion to their fortunes, bringing their total gain to $461 billion since November 4, reports RT, citing Bloomberg:
“The rise in billionaires’ wealth in the first 100 days of Biden’s presidency is around 20% of the cash stockpile those billionaires raked in between Trump’s inauguration and the 2020 election. According to Bloomberg data, they became $860 billion richer over that period.
America’s richest boost fortunes by $195 billion: The gains are largely based on enormous stimulus measures to help the economy mitigate the coronavirus crisis, which resulted in a stock market rally.
In addition to the trillions-worth of measures agreed by Trump, Biden approved another $1.9 trillion stimulus package.
