He lost $10.3bn, and I haven't. Therefore, I am more financially savvy than he!

This is why the British instituted a "hut tax" in their African colonies. Otherwise, the native population had no reason to go work in the mines!

He didn't really lose $10.3bn, he lost the opportunity to make it. These were options, not actual money or stock.
