The Ex-Billionaires: Who Lost Their Billionaire Status In 2021? | Forbes

Just 61 people across the globe saw their fortunes dip below $1 billion since last year, the smallest number in a decade, and another 23 billionaires died.

Thanks to the stock market’s remarkable rebound since the S&P 500 bottomed out in March 2020, a lot more people gained billionaire status over the past year than lost it. Just 61 of the 2,095 billionaires on last year’s World’s Billionaires list saw their fortunes dip below $1 billion this year, the smallest number since 2011, when 41 dropped off—though there were only 1,209 billionaires that year.
