HuRun, chairman and chief research officer of Hurun Report, said that from the list of the richest people, it can be seen that the structure and scale of China's wealth creation have changed very quickly in recent years. According to the list, half of the nearly 3,000 entrepreneurs on the list this year did not make the list five years ago. "Twenty years ago, the top ten threshold was only 3.5 billion yuan; five years ago, the top ten threshold doubled to 78 billion yuan, and the proportion of entrepreneurs engaged in the Internet increased; this year's top ten threshold was 193 billion yuan, and the proportion of entrepreneurs engaged in new energy-related industries rose."
