Nope, it evaporates.

Imagine that one person had all of Intel two years ago. She was worth $500 billion.

Another person acquired that person's Intel stake for $500 billion in cash.

Total net worth at the time--$1 trillion. ($500 billion cash and $500 billion of Intel)

The $500 billion in proceeds was indeed invested elsewhere. But the Intel stock? Now it's worth $100 billion.

Total net worth now--$100 billion in Intel plus $500 billion plus whatever profits were generated from that $500 billion in cash. Guaranteed that those profits are probably zero, if not less. Total net worth--$600 billion. What happened to the other $400 billion? It disappeared.
