There is Warren Buffet at the top. I believe he is not a TA expert.
Only other American in top 10 is Bill Gates at 3rd place.

There are 4 people from India in the top 10 richest in world.
I believe they are all industrialists. Unbelievable!

Carlos slim, 2nd richest owns Mexican Telephone company Telmex shares.
Ingvar Kamprad of Sweden owns good part of IKEA.

Abigail Johnson of Fidelity Investments made the list.
So did Ballmer of Microsoft, Paul Allen and Michael Dell.
Other Americans are the Walton family and Google founders.

The 100 richest are worth a cool $2 Trillion aprox.

WOW!

My question is how is the market slide of recent affecting them,
and are they selling out their holdings??

Okay, let's count.... Based on the market cap of their own companies, the top three lost 1.5-2x times this year. Not bad. The biggest losers are Russians, of course. Most of them (except Misha Prohorov who cashed out last summer) are literally BANKRUPTS, or lost 5-8x times from a year ago. The richest russki guy Deripaska, for example, has more outside debts than actual assets, kinda reckoning for the aggressive growth. Don't bite more than you can swallow. I guess many other oligarchs worldwide have the same financial situation.

Don't take me litterally, their wealth is well camouflaged, nobody knows, then you guess...!
Start thinking from, that they have a big foot in every central bank...
