NY lost 9 billionaires this year — here’s how their absence is bad news for every New Yorker
Story by Georgia Worrell • 1d


The Big Apple’s billionaires are hemorrhaging cash.

Nine New York-based billionaires fell off this year’s Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans — and 18 have dropped off in the past five years.

Of those who didn’t make it back onto this year’s list, one died – investor Jim Simons – and the rest saw declining fortunes.

Fortress Investment Group Chairman Wesley Edens saw his net worth plummet to $2.7 billion this year from $3.9 billion in 2023, knocking him out of the top 400.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Billionaires' unproductive deployment of capital is not the same as billionaires and their companies repatriating to another state.

Many of those NYC billionaires are linked to pirate equity, vulture capital, and hedge funds.  If their hedge funds bet against a rising stock market, they made losing bets.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
