10 richest men in the world doubled wealth amid COVID pandemic!

The fortunes of the 10 wealthiest men in the world have more than doubled since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new report from Oxfam.

Among them is Tesla founder Elon Musk, the world's richest man and Amazon's Jeff Bezos, the second richest.

"Billionaires have had a terrific pandemic. Central banks pumped trillions of dollars into financial markets to save the economy, yet much of that has ended up lining the pockets of billionaires riding a stock market boom," said Oxfam International’s executive director Gabriela Bucher.
