The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) suffered one of its worst losses in recent history after the Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures showed that inflation in August was 8.3 percent, triggering an investor sell-off.
An estimated $93 billion were erased from the fortunes of the US’ richest billionaires on September 13 after the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) “carnage” triggered by
new inflation data, Bloomberg reported.

Accordingly, the S&P500 dropped 4.3 percent, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 3.9 percent, and the Nasdaq Composite plummeted 5.2 percent.
As shares witnessed their biggest drop in more than two years, top US fortunes registered their ninth-worst daily loss ever.
Jeff Bezos, the founder and former president and CEO of Amazon, with a net worth of around $136 billion as of September 2022, lost the most among those tracked by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The wealth of the second-richest person in the world plunged by $9.8 billion.

Powell reiterated that the US central bank would keep raising interest rates to reduce inflation. In the aftermath, Elon Musk’s saw $5.5 billion erased from his wealth. Jeff Bezos lost $6.8 billion - the most of anyone on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
