World’s richest now $13b richer
THE 20 richest people on Earth gained a combined$12.5 billion at the weekend, as Brazilian Eike Batista’s net worth surged $7.2 billion after he sold a stake in his commodities empire.
The 55-year-old tycoon sold 5.6 per cent of his EBX Group Co. holding company to Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Development Co. for $2 billion on March 26. That liftedhim to eighth on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a daily ranking of the world’s richest people.
He held the spot for three days before sliding back to 10th as shares of his oil producer, OGX Petroleo & Gas Participacoes SA, fell by 2.2 per cent on Sunday.
“Eike’s business accomplishments demonstrate that Brazil is the real deal,” Eric Saucedo, a partner at New York-based merchant-banking firm Tricap Partners & Co., said in an e-mail. “You did not see this in previous years.”
Billionaire fortunes rose as global stocks posted the bestfirst-quarter rally since 1998 amid signs of economic improvement in Europe and the U.S. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rose for the sixth week of the past seven, adding 0.8 percent to close at 1,408.47.
Mexican Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world, gained $1.5 billion during the week as his country’s benchmark IPC stock index reached a record. In a decision published March 27, antitrust regulators rejected his appeal against a ruling that could pave the way for increased regulation of his telecom operator, America Movil SAB.
The 72-year-old has a net worth of $70.8 billion.
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) co-founder Bill Gates, 56, is second on the index with a net worth of $63.8 billion, up$664.5 million for the week. Warren Buffett, 81, is thirdwith $45.4 billion. The world’s three richest people havegained a combined $19.6 billion year to date.
