I cannot make sense of this sentence in the 2024 section: "This is an increase of 141 members and $2 trillion from 2023, which held the previous record for the highest net worth gain on the list, surpassing the $900 billion record set in 2022." The first part about the increase from 2023 checks out. But why would 2023 hold the highest net worth gain record, when it went down from 12.7 trillion in 2022 to 12.2 trillion in 2023? It also went down from 2021 to 2022 so I have no idea what the 900 billion record is referring to, either. 2A02:908:4B15:FC60:0:0:0:C491 (talk) 15:54, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
