By horizontal comparison, there are currently 2 1, 0 1 billionaires in the world, and their wealth is 8.5 trillion US dollars. The number of billionaires in China accounts for about 15% of the world, and wealth accounts for 1 1.6%. In this way, the rich in China are not rich enough.

Extended data
The most interesting thing is two points:
First, the average age of the billionaires in China is 57 years old, and the average age in the world is 64 years old, which means that the billionaires in China are seven years younger than the average age of the billionaires in the world. It also shows that the rich in China are growing rapidly.
Second, among the billionaires in China, 98% started from scratch, compared with 6 1% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and 70% in the United States.
These two points illustrate one thing: a huge wealth-making movement is quietly taking place in China.
In just 30 or 40 years, with the development of China, the wealth created by this elite who seized the opportunity of the times has been equivalent to the wealth accumulated by several generations of foreign traditional rich people.
For example, when Xiaomi 20 18 went public, the former 100 employees became billionaires and the former 1000 employees became multimillionaires; In 20 14, Ali went public, creating two national richest men-Masayoshi Son, the richest man in Japan, and Jack Ma, the richest man in China, as well as 30 billionaires and 1000 millionaires (both in RMB).
