He acknowledged that the company is looking to hire more and more work force even when his personal fortune tumbled 89% to $10.2 Billion.
Bankman-Fried, the CEO of trading platform FTX, is down by at least 66% since his fortune peaked at 26%. The loss in his fortune can seriously dent his plans to give away his money and spend big in politics.
Novogratz, an American Investor, formerly of the investment firm Fortress Investment, partnered with cryptocurrency and reaped massive incomes. But since the crash, his fortune fell to $2.1 Billion, which is significantly low when we compare it to his debut.
