Maria Fernanda Amorim, widow of businessman Amerigo Amorim, appeared at 601st and is the only Portuguese to be included in the list of billionaires for 2022 by Forbes, with a fortune of around 4 billion euros. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos (Amazon) and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) are among 2,668 names on Forbes’ list. For the first time, Tesla CEO Musk appears at the top, with a fortune of 200 billion euros, which narrowly misses the value of Portugal’s GDP. Compared to last year, he left the list 87, marking the largest drop in the total number of billionaires since the 2009 financial crisis. “Wars, epidemics, and recessions have hit the world’s billionaire markets this year,” says the American magazine.
