Las 500 personas más ricas del planeta tuvieron un año espectacular.
La fortuna combinada de estos «superricos» llegó al récord histórico de US$8,4 billones, una cantidad muy superior al tamaño de la economía de grandes potencias como Japón, Alemania o Reino Unido, y el Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) combinado de toda América Latina.
Wall Street les tendió la alfombra roja con un gigantesco aumento en el mercado de valores que impulsó la riqueza de los magnates a niveles nunca antes vistos.
Tal como subieron las bolsas, también se disparó el precio de las propiedades, las criptomonedas, las materias primas y muchos otros productos, a pesar del segundo año de pandemia que aún mantiene a muchos países en desarrollo sin poder levantar cabeza.
Fue así como la riqueza combinada de estos 500 magnates escaló más de US$1 billón, como si el pie estuviera puesto en el acelerador sin ninguna restricción en el límite de velocidad, según el Índice de multimillonarios de Bloomberg.
El récord de Elon Musk
Entre los 10 magnates más ricos del planeta, el que vio el mayor aumento de su fortuna fue el fundador de Tesla y SpaceX, Elon Musk, con un aplastante incremento de un 75% en solo un año, dejando muy atrás en el ranking a otros magnates como Jeff Bezos o Bill Gates.
Como si fuera poco un patrimonio de US$273.500 millones, en los primeros días de este año Musk batió su propio récord, cuando este martes le agregó otros US$32.000 millones a su fortuna.
El salto se produjo luego que se disparara el precio de las acciones de Tesla, tras el anuncio de que el fabricante de autos eléctricos lanzó al mercado 936.000 vehículos el año pasado, una marca que sobrepasó ampliamente las proyecciones de analistas.
Le siguen a Musk otros superricos como los cofundadores de Google Larry Page y Sergey Brin (con un alza de sus fortunas el año pasado de 57% y 56%, respectivamente).
Completan la lista el fundador del imperio comercial de marcas de lujo LVMH, Bernard Arnault (55%), y el exdirector ejecutivo de Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, (50%).
¿En qué contexto ocurre este aumento de la riqueza?
En la medida que los más ricos se beneficiaron de las grandes ganancias en las bolsas -en un año en que las tasas de interés estuvieron históricamente bajas y tanto los bancos centrales como los gobiernos inyectaron mucho dinero a las economías-, las personas de menores ingresos y los países más vulnerables no formaron parte de la fiesta bursátil.
