(CNN) – The world’s 10 richest people became a record $64 billion richer after Trump’s re-election, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Bloomberg says this is the largest daily increase in wealth seen since the index’s launch in 2012.

The biggest winner was Elon Musk.

Musk, the world’s richest person and one of Trump’s most fervent and devoted supporters, saw his fortune soar from $26.5 billion to $290 billion on Wednesday.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ fortune increased by $7.1 billion.

This comes a week after Bezos defended his decision to withhold The Washington Post’s endorsement of Kamala Harris.

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, another Trump supporter, saw his net worth increase by $5.5 billion on Wednesday.

Other winners include former Microsoft executives Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, former Google executives Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett.

None of them supported a candidate this year.

The market rallied Wednesday as the election ended with hopes that Trump will usher in a new era of deregulation and other business-friendly laws and policies.
