In the last split people who held bitcoins got an equal quantity of "Bitcoin cash", so if you had 1 BTC, after the split you had 1 BTC and 1 BCH.

Looking at https://coinmarketcap.com/ you can see that each BCH is worth ~$500 (at the time of this comment) and the value of BTC is higher after the split.

so in essence $8,154,513,572 of new value was created from nothing with the split.

If the next split follow the same pattern, more money appears...
