According to the webmaster's house (ChinaZ.com) april 6 news, on April 5, Forbes released the global billionaire list, said that due to the impact of last year's global stock market shock, the number of people on the 2022 Forbes global billionaire list decreased by 87 places from last year to 2,668. Although the total wealth of this year's list reached 12. $7 trillion, but up from last year's 13. $1 trillion has fallen. Of all the richest people on the list, the United States has 736 richest people, ranking first in the world.
It is reported that the list uses the share price of March 11, 2022 when calculating the wealth of the listers.
Among them, Elon Musk ranked first with a wealth of 2, 19 billion US dollars, and its wealth sources mainly came from Tesla and SpaceX.
Forbes said Musk's wealth increased by $68 billion over the past year. It's worth mentioning that he concentrated on dumping a large number of volatile, more than $16 billion worth of Tesla shares in two months last year, and may have created the largest annual personal tax bill ever.
In second place is Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, whose fortune amounts to $171 billion. In third place is LVMH CEO Bernard Arnold and his family, whose wealth amounts to $158 billion. In addition, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.
It is worth mentioning that in the list, Binance CEO Zhao Changpeng ranked 20th with $65 billion. Zhang Yiming, the founder of ByteDance, ranked 25th with a wealth of $50 billion.
Forbes commented on Zhang Yiming that ByteDance is the world's most valuable unlisted unicorn company today, and its most famous short video platform TikTok has reached 1 billion monthly active users. Last November, Zhang Yiming announced his resignation as chairman of ByteDance. As China tightens its internet platform regulations, many founders of Chinese tech giants, including Zhang Yiming, have opted out of management.
