Billions.
It looks like I’m not the only one who won’t be retiring anytime soon.
Actually, I don’t know if those billionaires really miss that money all that much.
For example, casino mogul Sheldon Adelson has lost $4 billion since last year. That means he has only $11 billion left, and who can live on that?
Even Bill Gates lost money, about $1.5 billion, which I think he left in one of his coat pockets. Check your drying cleaning, Bill.
At least Warren Buffett made some money — about $8 billion. Now he’s the country’s richest person, having dethroned Bill Gates. We’re watching you, Warren. We’re watching you.
