中国平均每三天新增一个亿万富豪
The rich are getting richer and more numerous. The world added 332 billionaires last year, with their cumulative wealth increasing 19% to a record $8.9 trillion, according to an annual survey from UBS and PwC. What's behind this phenomenon? Explosive wealth creation in China. In 2006, there were just 16 Chinese billionaires. But in 2017, the tally hit 373 - one-fifth of the global total. The US still leads regionally, with 585 billionaires, but wealth creation in the region is slowing. The US created 53 billionaires in 2017, compared with 87 in 2012. In China, 106 people became billionaires in 2017. That comes out to roughly one new billionaire every three days. |
