$200bn of ownership has NOT changed hands.

They've just had a property revaluation.

Could only wish that caused them as much pain as the average American, Canadian, Mexican, European is getting walloped with every day under Trump.

209 Billion seems like a lot but it's not in comparison to their overall wealth. Us poors need to stop celebrating their financial losses.

If you're linking to a paywalled site like bloomberg, could you please provide the text in the post, or link to a archive.org copy? All I know about this is the title and the first paragraph of the article. Frustrating.

You can search for the headline plus "msn" and almost always find it:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/economy/billionaires-at-trump-s-swearing-in-have-since-lost-209-billion/ar-AA1ADH6d

Some places don't like people to do that. I'm normally somewhat against it, since I do think it's important for journalists to get paid, but in this case:

  1. The MSN link actually does in some sense make sure that they get paid. I don't actually know all the details but I am assuming that this involves in some way money going from sketchy people who buy internet ads, to Microsoft, to the journalists' corporate overlords, eventually in theory to the journalists, so actually in some weird way it is fitting the requirement.
  2. It's Bloomberg, so who cares.

Those MF are shorting the market right now making billions on the process. Once market hits rock bottom, the will buy back everything at the cheapest price and end up making even more on the way up. There's really no way to hurt them on that matter. As most people are saying, the only people being hurt from this is the working class.

After first having gained $300 billion? Y'all know that the stock pumping started two months earlier than Jan. 20?

Way to steal joy from me. But you're right to point this out.
