In China, Rupert found only three billionaires. In addition to Juan Guanya, this is the Shanghai businessman Timothy Chen (1.05 billion), who owns one of the largest manufacturers of online games - Shanda Networking Group and the owner of the Hong Kong -Kicific Group Hong Kong Group Larry Zhun (1 billion).

Among the Chinese rich there are only three women, and only ten people out of a hundred tolerably speak English, Euromoney notes. Every fourth member of the list is a member of the PDA.
Most of the head companies of Chinese millionaires are located in the province of Guangdun in southern China, then Beijing and Shanghai are going on. Compared to last year, the total volume of capital of the hundred richest people in China grew by 29% and amounted to 29.7 billion.
At a press conference in Shanghai, Rupert admitted that it was very difficult for him to evaluate the capital of Chinese businessmen. "In China, the definition of wealth is both science and art. Companies whose shares are not quoted on the exchange, we evaluated, comparing them with competitors who have already entered the stock market, using special industrial coefficients," he said.
