    >> Billionaires added record $2.2T in wealth in 2025 That "2025" number at the end of the title is the year, the other number is the customary balance reported at the end of the year... every year!

    You seriously claim that you never see headlines like " [Billionaire name] lost $XX billion in net worth on bad [stock ticker here] trading day"?

    I dearly love this website, but the number of apologists defending billionaires is one of the least savory aspects of HN.
