Who has the list of China's richest people since 2000?

How much does it cost to be the richest man?

How long does it take to become the richest man? This is what many people care about.

A few days ago, Forbes published the list of the richest people in the world in 2005. We have studied the richest people in 30 countries and regions, and the conclusion is enough to make everyone confident: none of the fathers of these 30 people are the richest! Less than 20% of aristocratic families with more than three generations, family industries are diamonds, beer, clothing and media, and about 20% are second-generation entrepreneurs. Parents completed the original accumulation of the company and reached the peak of their career when they passed it on to their children. In addition, the middle class accounts for about 40%, which is a model of individual struggle; Another 20% people come from extremely humble backgrounds, such as miners, shop assistants, immigrants, penniless "poor princes" and even smugglers.

In other words, if you happen to be a genius, anyone can become the richest man in a country for life.

Usually in some developing countries or countries in transition, some dramatic wealth explosions are prone to occur. Mou, who was marked as the richest man in China for the first time, is, in a sense, a trader wandering on the edge of the law. He sold unsalable cans from Sichuan to Russia and took back several planes that had fallen. However, at that time, only gray business activities like his could quickly accumulate considerable personal wealth in China.

Abu, now the richest man in Britain, 1989 was a smuggler at Moscow airport not far away. "His bag is full of contraband, such as Marlboro cigarettes and Chanel perfume. In order to bring this thing on the plane, he really spent a lot of effort and struggled with the police and security personnel for a long time before passing the customs. "

In fact, in the 2005 Forbes list of the world's richest people, there were some new faces besides the young oligarchs in Russia. Their appearance seems to indicate that the new concept of wealth is being generated at will, and new channels for creating wealth are being quietly opened.

In Europe, no rich man is more attractive than ernesto bertarelli, the 40-year-old Swiss richest man.

He was born in a wealthy family, and his grandfather's company was founded in the early 20th century, becoming the most famous biopharmaceutical enterprise in Europe. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, he began to contact the business world with his father and was considered by people around him to have a bright future. /kloc-helped the company make the annual budget at the age of 0/7, and officially took over from his father to become the CEO of an international company with a family business at the age of 3 1. ...

If the story of Ernesto Bettarelli is too dazzling and lacks drama, then the 48-year-old Alwaleed bin Talal, the richest man in Saudi Arabia, is another very unexpected "Arabian story".

Talal is a poor boy among thousands of "Sheikh princes" in Saudi Arabia. When he started his business at the age of 23, he only had a start-up fee of $65,438 +0.5 million. He first worked as a trade agent and contracting business, and then engaged in joint ventures and real estate. At the age of 29, he successfully extended his tentacles to the financial industry ... At present, his shares cover all commercial fields, including Citibank, news company, Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, McDonald's, Disney, Apple, Motorola, AOL time warner Inc., Ford, Amazon, Yi Bei and Kodak. At present, Talal's total assets are as high as $23.7 billion, ranking fifth in the Forbes list in 2005.

Guo Taiming, who has just become the richest man in Taiwan Province, is the hope of the rich in China. In the new global rich list, his assets have surpassed the 87-year-old "God of Management" Wang Yongqing in Taiwan Province Province, ranking first. Prior to this, the growth of the rich in China was marked with too much land speculation, power and money trading and resource monopoly. With his own efforts, Guo Taiming stands out in the IT field surrounded by foreign powers, making today's Taiwan Province Province the center of the global information technology OEM industry. He, Tallard of Saudi Arabia, Carlos Salim of Mexico and, of course, Bill Gates, who reached the summit 2 1 year ago, have all become upstarts in technology and capital among the rich.
