Crypto billionaires have lost a total of $110 billion during the past twelve months, registering an enormous yearly decline of 75%, according to Forbes estimates published earlier this week. 

According to the magazine, the combined wealth of the world's richest crypto holders was around $140 billion in 2022, but a year of fraud allegations, government lawsuits, and investigations, as well as falling asset valuations, pushed their collective worth to less than $30 billion as of March 10, 2023.

The steep decline in fortunes also set the number of crypto billionaires dropping from an all-time high of 19 recorded last year to only nine last month.

Co-founder and chief executive of the world’s largest cryptocurrency trading platform Binance, Changpeng Zhao, retained the title of the world’s number one crypto billionaire. His fortune reportedly amounted to $10.5 billion, down from $65 billion in 2022.
