Trump’s victory adds record $64bn to wealth of richest top 10
theguardian.com

The wealth of the 10 richest people in the world – a list dominated by US tech billionaires – increased by a record amount after Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, according to a widely cited index.

The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimated that the world’s 10 wealthiest people gained nearly $64bn (about £49.5bn) on Wednesday, the largest daily increase since the index began in 2012.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, registered the largest increase with a $26.5bn addition to his fortune, which now stands at $290bn. The prominent backer of Trump’s campaign, benefited from a surge in the share price of Tesla, the electric carmaker where he is chief executive and in which he owns a 13% stake.

Don’t worry. It will trickle down any day now.

Like piss, right?

Right?

Piss trickling down on us would be an improvement

I guess it's slightly better than the old "Horse and Sparrow" name which implies "Eat shit and like it".

Like being on level 250 of the Platform.

I was about to tell you about this movie called El Hoyo that was similar to your comment and then I realized we're talking about the same thing I just watched it in Spanish. lol
