在美国《福布斯》推出的全球富豪排行榜上,比尔-盖茨已连续坐这个位子11年了。
此次入围《富布斯》榜单的亿万富翁共有691人,资产总和达了2.2万亿美元。富翁最多的地方是纽约,然后依次分别是莫斯科、旧金山、伦敦和洛杉矶。从整体上看,富翁们分别来自47个国家,而冰岛、哈萨克斯坦、乌克兰和波兰的富翁今年是第一次进入该榜单。
出生在印度的钢铁大亨拉什米-米塔尔的个人财富增长最快,他的净资产增长了四倍达130亿美元,使他成为了世界上第三位富有的人。瑞典宜家家居的创始人英格瓦-卡普拉德也因财富的迅速增长而上升到了第六位。发展中国家同过去相比已经有了善好的表现。除香港外,尽管前60名中没有一个来自中国内地,但是却有3个俄罗斯人和4个印度人进入。不过亚洲的统计可能不具代表性,因为他们通常都是家族式发展,而《福布斯》看重的是个人。
相比而言,榜单上的女性比较少,《哈利-波特》小说的作者JK-罗琳就以519,000,000美元的资产排名620位。新入选榜单的富翁包括网络搜索巨头Google的创建人布琳和裴基,在他们公司的股票上市后,他俩每人的财富都超过了70亿美元。意大利最富有的人是总理贝卢斯科尼,他在这次全球财富排名中排到了第25位。
