Batista Becomes First "Negative Billionaire" ($35bn to -$1bn)

I posted before about this guy. It's always interesting to see how bad decisions can deliver a terrible outcome for even the wealthiest in the world. He repeatedly said he would pass Carlos Slim and Bill Gates to become the richest man in the world by 2015.

Eike Batista was 7th richest man in the world and was worth $35 Billion at his peak in 2012 and he is now Bankrupt with a net worth of (negative) $1.5bn - all happened in just three years.

He was worth $200m at the time of this video but since then, his fortune has declined even more....
