The world's 400 richest people are the surprising casualties from the Brexit referendum as they lost USD127.4Bbn following the fallout of the financial markets on that same day.
Consequently, Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates was one of the ten people who lost more than USD1 billion in investment value in just one day, along with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
Both men saw their gross worth decline USD1 billion, though this could have been worse as their report states that Europe's richest person Amancio Ortega lost more than USD6 billion.
