Thanks to [Bloomberg's billionaires index](https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/), we can see the individuals benefitting most from this surge. There are 14 on Bloomberg's list who have already made more than $10 billion through October (and, of course, the year is not over). Combined, these billionaires have seen their net worths climb $224.5 billion this year so far. The demographics of the list are fairly uniform (all but one, Chinese heiress Yang Huiyan, are men) — but there are only five Americans, representing just four companies (albeit giant ones). Here are the 14, with how much they've made year-to-date according to Bloomberg: 14\.
