    I imagine a lot of this data is because they are the ones cashing out so I don’t know how accurate this is. I feel Its more likely the American population’s 401k are losing the value here. Billionaires selling off billions vs my measly 100k is going to have a more dramatic market effect. If that’s the case hopefully we see some massive capital gains tax… But my guess is this money is being reinvested somewhere else or offshored.
