Honestly, so what if he's out $60 bn. I don't think this would affect his lifestyle in any way whatsoever. But it would affect his high score. I'm guessing at one point he realized the former but later realized the latter and cared more about that. Though he's still got a 88bn lead on second place so I'm not sure why he cares.

No matter what it won't be him fronting all the money, he had institutional investors that were ponying up a huge amount of the dough alongside him.

Not sure it's going to affect his probably-not-that-lavish lifestyle that much. But since those billions are in stock it likely it will affect his level of control of companies, his ability to attract future investments and his future decisions. Which people paying attention to tech companies probably care about more than what flavour caviar he eats and what schools his kids go to anyway.
