In the two weeks following President Donald Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day,” Bay Area tech billionaires experienced a collective loss of $44 billion, largely attributed to market volatility driven by Trump's shifting tariff policies. Among the most affected was Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, whose net worth declined by $30.7 billion. In contrast, Elon Musk's fortune increased by $26 billion during the same period, partially offsetting the overall losses in the region. This divergence highlights the uneven impact of recent trade tensions on leading figures in the tech industry. Additionally, some billionaires and CEOs have been investing in San Francisco’s relatively affordable real estate amid these market fluctuations.
