(CNN) – The world's top 10 richest people got a record $64 billion richer after Trump's reelection, according to Bloomberg's Billionaire Index . Bloomberg says it's the biggest daily increase of wealth it's seen since the index started in 2012. The biggest gainer was Elon Musk. Musk, the world's richest person and one of Trump's most outspoken and dedicated supporters, saw his wealth jump $26.5 billion dollars to $290 billion Wednesday. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' wealth grew $7.1 billion dollars. It comes a week after Bezos defended his decision to withhold the Washington Post's endorsement of Kamala Harris. Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison, another Trump supporter, saw his net worth rise $5.5 billion on Wednesday. Other gainers include former Microsoft executives Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, former Google executives Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. None of them endorsed a candidate this year. The market rallied Wednesday as the election concluded with expectations Trump will usher in a new era of deregulation and other pro-business laws and policies.
