    这份榜单对于美国总统特朗普来说是个坏消息,他排名下滑220位跌至第544位,现有资产仅为35亿美元。

    Forbes said the $1bn fall in his wealth was due to the slow US property market.

    There were 183 tech billionaires on the Forbes list, with a combined $1tn in wealth. The list is dominated by US billionaires.

    上榜的美国亿万富翁数量为565人,《福布斯》将其归因为2016年11月总统大选后美国股市飙升。

    Trump's tumble

    特朗普排名下滑

    Forbes attributed the US president's slide down the list to the sluggish6 Manhattan property market, which is responsible for a disproportionate amount of his wealth.

    福布斯》认为,特朗普排名下滑是因为纽约曼哈顿房地产市场疲软导致其身家缩水。

    "Forty percent of Donald Trump's fortune is tied up in Trump Tower and eight buildings within one mile of it," Forbes said.

    福布斯称:“特朗普大厦及其附近1英里内的8栋建筑占特朗普全部身价的四成。”

    The magazine also said that his wealth was hit by $66m in political spending on his successful presidential campaign, as well as $25m to settle litigation he allegedly ripped off students at Trump University.

    福布斯》还表示,特朗普为了成功竞选总统花了大约6600万美元的政治经费,这也是他身家下滑的原因之一。同时,特朗普因为涉嫌坑骗特朗普大学的学生而被起诉,因此花费2500万美元达成诉讼和解。
