Easy come easy go. The Mount Rushmore of tech titans has seen roughly $85 billion of their fortune disappear so far in 2022 after the big market sell-off on Wall Street last week. 

Before you reach into your pocket to grab your phone and anonymously Venmo the poor guys a few bucks, keep in mind, they are still worth over half a trillion. 

Here’s a little rundown of who lost what.  Elon Musk saw $27 billion wiped away. He’s actually down to $243 billion for his net worth, which is almost $100 billion lower than his personal high in November of $335 billion. 

This month, Jeff Bezos has been busy doing pushups on a yacht in St. Barth’s and sucking face with his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez whenever a camera is in sight.  If he’s had time to check his portfolio, he’ll see his net worth has been lowered by $25 billion. 

Bill Gates will have $9.5 billion fewer dollars to save the world.  Google co-founder Larry Page had $12 billion in stock value wiped away. 

And finally, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta/Facebook is down about $12 billion. 

It was a rough week for all investors in tech stocks, as the Nasdaq Composite dropped 8% thanks to concerns of rising interest rates and the inflation the country is mired in.
