2017福布斯富豪榜发布 特朗普穷了10亿美元

 　　President Donald Trump¹ is the nation's first billionaire president -- but he's not as rich as he used to be, according to the Forbes 2017 Billionaires List published last Monday.

　　唐纳德·特朗普总统是美国第一位亿万富豪总统，不过，根据上周一公布的《福布斯2017全球富豪榜》，他已经不像过去那么富有了。

　　The magazine put his net worth at $3.5 billion, down $1 billion from the rankings it issued a year ago.

　　该杂志称，他的净资产为35亿美元，与前一年相比缩水了10亿美元。

　　As a result, his position on the Forbes' ranking dropped 220 spots, leaving him tied with 19 others as the 544th richest person in the world.

　　因此，他在福布斯的该榜单上排名下滑了220位，与其他19名富豪并列第544位。

　　Forbes said that much of the decline in Trump's net worth is due to softness in the midtown Manhattan real estate market.

　　福布斯杂志认为，特朗普净资产的下降，主要是由于曼哈顿市中心房地产市场的疲软。

　　"Forty percent of Donald Trump's fortune is tied up in Trump Tower and eight buildings within one mile of it," according to the magazine. "What happens in that micromarket does more to affect the net worth of Donald Trump than anything else in the world. Lately, the neighborhood has been struggling (relatively speaking)."

　　该杂志指出：“特朗普的财富与特朗普大厦和距其一英里范围内的八座建筑紧密相关。在该微小市场所发生的一切，对特朗普净资产的影响超过了世界上其他任何事情，而最近，周边房地产市场已经开始陷入挣扎(相对而言)。”

　　The magazine also notes that he gave $66 million to his presidential campaign and paid $25 million to settle a lawsuit² related to Trump University.

　　除此之外，该杂志还指出，特朗普为竞选总统自掏腰包6600万美元，并且支付了2500万美元用于解决特朗普大学的相关诉讼。

　　Ironically the list comes out the same day that Trump is meeting with Bill Gates, who is the world's richest man for the fourth straight year.

　　讽刺的是，就在该榜单公布的同一天，特朗普会见了已经连续第四年蝉联富豪榜榜首的比尔·盖茨。

　　The Microsoft founder³'s net worth is $86 billion, up from $75 billion last year.

　　这位微软公司创始人的净资产是860亿美元，而一年前则是750亿美元。

　　Warren Buffett reclaimed⁴ the No. 2 spot on the list for the first time since 2014, with a net worth of $75.6 billion, up from $60.8 billion in 2016.

　　沃伦·巴菲特自2014年以来再次排名第二，净资产由去年的608亿美元增加到756亿美元。

　　Amazon founder Jeff Bezos rose to No. 3 on the list for the first time, thanks to the jump in in Amazon shares, which boosted his net worth to $72.8 billion.

　　紧随其后的是亚马逊创始人杰夫·贝索斯，这是他第一次排名第三，由于亚马逊股值飙升，他的资产达到了728亿美元。
