The average age is 66 years old.

  Hu Run, chairman and chief research officer of Hurun Report, said: "The number of global entrepreneurs with a billion dollars has increased by 5%, almost making up for all the losses caused by the global economy coming out of the epidemic last year and the general expectation of interest rate cuts in the United States. Our global rich list tells the story of the global economy through the stories of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. "

  "AI has deeply influenced our global rich list for the first time this year, and more than half of the new wealth comes from AI. Meta,, Google’s parent company Alphabet,,wait forThe wealth of related entrepreneurs has increased substantially. For the first time, Huang Renxun’s wealth increased significantly, entering the top 30 in the world. Others engaged in the industry, such as Chen Tianshi of Cambrian and Cai Mingjie of Lianfa Technology, are from AI Company in Beijing.Dai Wenyuan and other wealth also grew rapidly. Strangely, although OpenAI has a valuation of nearly $100 billion, its founder, Sam Altman, is said to have no shares, so he didn’t make the list. "

  "The United States is at the forefront in adding billions of entrepreneurs. new york has regained the title of’ the world’s billion-dollar entrepreneur capital’ for the first time in seven years, and the stock market has also reached a record high."

  "India has performed well in the past year, and it is the country with the largest number of new entrepreneurs with a billion dollars outside the United States, with an increase of nearly 100. Mumbai replaced Beijing this year and became Asia’s’ billion-dollar entrepreneur capital’ for the first time, ranking the top three in the world. "

  "China’s wealth creation structure continues to undergo tremendous changes. In the last year, there were more than 200 billion-dollar entrepreneurs in China, but there were more than 50 new faces, a total decrease of 150. Since reaching its peak in 2022, nearly 450 billion-dollar entrepreneurs in China have fallen off the list in the past two years, and there are more than 120 new faces. "

  "In the past two years, China entrepreneurs with relatively fast wealth growth, includingHave done relatively successfully.Huang Wei,Cai Haoyu of Mihayou Company, Chen Tianshi of Cambrian Company and Consumer Goods Company.Zhang Liguo, etc., the decline is more Wanda Wang Jianlin in the real estate industry.Yang Huiyan,IndustrialZeng yuqun,Li Zhenguo, etc. "

  "One of the most prominent entrepreneurs in China in recent years is Huang Zheng, who is in his forties. He has become the entrepreneur with the largest wealth growth in China for two consecutive years, and it is hard to imagine that he has entered the top 30 global entrepreneurs in less than 10 years, and the market value of Pinduoduo also exceeded for the first time last year.At present, it should be one of the most successful brands in China. It has grasped the mode of comprehensive supply chain+digital Internet retail+international express delivery. "

  "This is a year of sharp economic contrast in Russia. Although the ruble fell by 21% against the US dollar, the MOEX index of Russia soared by 44%, mainly due to the strong performance of the metal minerals and energy industries. On the contrary, the financial services industry performed poorly. Russia has added six billion-dollar entrepreneurs this year. "

  "Despite the Gaza war, Israel has added nine billion-dollar entrepreneurs, and 29 have entered the top 20 countries with billion-dollar entrepreneurs."

  "Since the FTX crash, cryptocurrency seems to have moved forward. Although he was fined more than $4 billion by the U.S. Department of Justice for money laundering, Zhao Changpeng’s wealth grew to 130 billion RMB with the surge in people’s interest in cryptocurrencies. The wealth of Brian Armstrong, founder of Coinbase, and Chris Larsen, founder of Ripple, also increased by 50%, reaching 46 billion yuan and 24.5 billion yuan respectively. "

  "Some entrepreneurs, such as Jeff Bezos and Larry Page, have rebounded sharply, just like the changes in our list in the past two years. Bezos increased by 480 billion yuan after shrinking by 470 billion yuan last year, and Page increased by 350 billion yuan after shrinking by 270 billion yuan last year. In China,Li Xiang has increased by 17 billion this year after shrinking by 12 billion last year. "

  "Some entrepreneurs are’ elevator kings’, and their wealth seems to rise rapidly and decline rapidly. For example, Zeng Yuqun rose by more than 200 billion in the previous two years and fell by more than 200 billion in the past two years; Zhang Hejun, a leading photovoltaic industry, rose by 19 billion last year and shrank by 22 billion this year.Liu Chengyu and Liu Ling rose by 13 billion yuan last year, but this year they have shrunk by 12 billion yuan. "

  "The financial services industry has achieved remarkable success, with the total wealth of 330 billion-dollar entrepreneurs.To 11 trillion yuan. The United States leads.Su Shimin’s wealth increased by 80 billion yuan, reaching 260 billion yuan. "

  "Global wealth is becoming more and more concentrated. The threshold for entering the top ten of our global rich list has increased from RMB 215 billion ten years ago to RMB 830 billion. But what may be more telling is that the wealth increased by the top ten this year accounts for 60% of the wealth increased by the whole list. Now there are 13 people whose wealth exceeds $100 billion, and the first $100 billion entrepreneur appeared in 2018. At this rate, it is expected that the first batch of trillion-dollar entrepreneurs will appear in the world by 2030. "

  "The 34-year-old Mumei joined the billion-dollar enterprise club with a wealth of 8.5 billion yuan. Her wealth does not come from the general star sideline, but from her music. More than half of her wealth comes from royalties and tour income, including $190 million from the first stop of Time Tour and $35 million from the box office. The rest comes from the value of her music albums, especially after her first six albums were sold to Clover Capital for $300 million in 2020. "

  "The impact of the COVID-19 epidemic has made the medical and health industry full of challenges this year, and the wealth of more than 100 billion-dollar entrepreneurs has shrunk."

  "The proportion of immigrants on the list has increased by half from 10% five years ago to 15%. Among them, the United States has the most, followed by Britain and Switzerland. South African-born elon musk and Russian-born sergey brin are the richest immigrants. "

  "The topic of emigration has attracted a lot of attention recently, but from our list, there are far fewer entrepreneurs on the list who really go out than many people think. On our list of the world’s richest people, there are about 60 China entrepreneurs living overseas, but most of them went to Southeast Asia before the reform and opening up, mainly the Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore, and some from Taiwan Province went to the United States, such as Huang Renxun and Jerry Yang of Yahoo. Recently, a new batch of entrepreneurs have moved overseas, including those living in Singapore.Zhang Yong, Mindray Li Xiting, ByteDance Zhang Yiming, BBK Duan Yongping and Shanda Chen Tianqiao in the United States, Qian ‘an Zhao Changpeng in the United Arab Emirates, etc. "

  "There have been almost no large donations in the past year. Gates, Buffett and Bloomberg of Bloomberg each donated 20 billion yuan, but what impressed me is that the value of some charitable trusts established in the early years has risen particularly fast recently, such as two famous ones.The charitable trust behind the parent company, one is Danish.One is American.Now, the value of their charitable trusts has risen to 900 billion and 500 billion yuan, the highest in the world. "
