The number of China’s dollar billionaires has fallen by more than a third in the past three years, according to a “rich list” compiled by research group Hurun, as government crackdowns, weakness in parts of the economy and depressed equity markets take their toll.
根据研究公司胡润研究院(Hurun Research Institute)编制的“百富榜”,过去三年,中国的十亿美元富翁的数量已下降逾三分之一,政府监管整顿、经济部分领域疲弱和低迷的股市造成了影响。
Since hitting a peak of 1,185 in 2021, Hurun said the number of dollar billionaires had been reduced to 753, with the 36 per cent decline exceeding a 10 per cent fall in the renminbi’s value against the dollar over the same period.
胡润研究院表示,自从在2021年达到1185位的峰值以来,十亿美元富翁数量已经降至753位,36%的降幅超过了同期人民币对美元汇率10%的跌幅。
In the past year alone, the number of dollar billionaires in China declined by 16 per cent, when the renminbi depreciated only 2.5 per cent against the dollar.
仅过去一年,中国的十亿美元富翁数量就下降了16%,同期人民币对美元仅贬值2.5%。
The list has also undergone rapid churn, Hurun said, with older entrepreneurs such as property developers making way for newer members such as Zhang Yiming, head of ByteDance.
胡润研究院表示,该榜单还经历了剧烈变动,地产开发商等老牌企业家让位于字节跳动(ByteDance)老板张一鸣等新成员。
