Los Angeles is down to a mere 29 billionaires, after a year in which the city's fifty wealthiest residents lost a combined $32 billion. "Activist investor" Kirk Kerkorian lost five billion alone. The only two names on the top ten list of rich people to have actually made money are Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, who cashed in on his pharmaceutical company, and Ron Burkle, who I guess owns a chain of grocery stores or something.
