(28 February 2018, Los Angeles, Beijing and Mumbai) Hurun Report today released the Hurun Global Rich List 2018, a ranking of the US-Dollar-billionaires in the world. Wealth calculations are a snapshot of 31 January 2018. This is the seventh year of the ranking.

The List at a glance

The Hurun Global Rich List 2018 ranked 2,694 billionaires from 68 countries and from 2,157 companies in another record-breaking year for the world’s billionaires.

Total wealth increased by a staggering 31% to US$10.5 trillion, equivalent to 13.2% of global GDP, and almost double the 7% of global GDP six years ago. Rupert Hoogewerf said, “Never has so much wealth been concentrated in the hands of so few.”

It has been an outstanding year for billionaires: 1508 saw their wealth increase and there were 567 new faces.

Chinese billionaires are pulling away from the USA for the third year running, 819 compared with 571. Just two years ago, they were neck and neck at 534 and 535. Hoogewerf said, “China is going through an amazing period of entrepreneurship, adding 210 billionaires in the past year.”

It has been a good year for India, claiming back its third place after adding 31 billionaires, on the back of a record performance of the Indian stock markets.

The average lister is aged 63, one year younger than last year.

Rupert Hoogewerf says, “The world today has the best part of 6,000 dollar billionaires, assuming that for every one we found, we have probably at least one if not more, particularly from the Gulf states.”

Hoogewerf continues, “A boom in China, a weak dollar and a 26% hike in Nasdaq have led to a surge in dollar billionaires across the world. The US dollar depreciated 16% against the Euro, 12% against the British Pound, 10% against the Chinese Yuan and 6% against the Indian Rupee. Global economic growth was at 3% last year, the fastest rate since 2011 and a significant acceleration compared with 2.4% the previous year.”

Top Ten – Hurun Global Rich List 2018

7 of the Top 10 are from the USA. Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg led the charge, adding US$51bn, US$24bn and US$21bn respectively. Larry Page, 44, of Google broke into the world’s Top 10 for the first time, and Bernard Arnault, 68, of LVMH returned to the Top 10, doubling his wealth to US$78bn. The Top 10 grew 37% on average.

Jeff Bezos, 54, shot up to World Number One for the first time after Amazon stock rose 70% year on year. Bezos becomes the third Number One in six years, after Carlos Slim and Bill Gates. Bezos first broke into the Hurun Top 10 two years ago. Last year, Amazon reported a revenue of US$177bn and net profit of US$3bn. Bezos recently announced a US$33mn donation to help 1,000 immigrants who were brought to the United States illegally as children to attend college.

Warren Buffett, 87, retains No.2 spot with a 31% increase in his wealth, and to becoming the second person ever to break through the US$100bn barrier. Berkshire Hathaway shares rose after the company announced a stake in Teva Pharmaceuticals and an increase in stake in various well performing assets which include General Motors, Bank of New York Mellon and Apple. Buffett recently made media headlines, suggesting that US tax cuts have added significantly to his wealth.

Bill Gates, 62, dropped down to third place this year. Last year Gates donated US$4.6bn worth of Microsoft shares to his foundation, his largest donation since 2000. The gift reduces Gates’s stake in Microsoft, which he co-founded in 1975, to just 1.3% from 24% in 1996. Nevertheless, Gates’s wealth increased by 11% to US$90bn backed by the performance of his investment portfolio, led by investments including Crown Castle, UPS and FEMSA. Rupert Hoogewerf said, “For the first time in five years, Gates is no longer the richest person on the planet.”

Mark Zuckerberg, 33, up one to fourth, saw his wealth grow 36% to US$79bn, on the back of a hike in Facebook’s share price. Zuckerberg donated US$1.9bn to the Chan Zuckerberg Foundation for education, housing, science and improving the criminal justice system.

Bernard Arnault, 68, returns to the Top 10 after his wealth doubled to US$78bn, on the back of a surge in the value of LVMH after the acquisition of Christian Dior. Arnault’s stake in LVMH increased from 36% to 46%.

Amancio Ortega, 81, of Zara down two to sixth place, despite a 6% increase to US$73bn. Daughter Sandra, 48, also makes the list, ranked 313 with US$6.3 billion. In 2017 Ortega donated US$320 million towards cancer fighting equipment.

Carlos Slim Helu, 78, maintained seventh place despite a 46% increase to US$67bn, on the back of 50% increase in the share price of America Movil. Slim recently made headlines when offering to mediate between the Mexican government and President Trump.

Larry Ellison, 73, of Oracle is down two spots to eighth, despite his wealth increasing by 13% to US$54bn. Ellison made the news recently for aggressively trying to win share from Amazon’s cloud business.

Larry Page, 44, is up 3 places to break into the Top 10 for the first time, on the back of a 35% increase in his wealth to US$50bn. Larry Page and Avatar director James Cameron have joined forces to mine asteroids and Page is trying to bring a flying car to the market by 2022.

With a net worth of US$49bn, Michael Bloomberg, former Mayor of New York City, 76, saw his wealth increase by 17% to keep him in the Top 10. Bloomberg is a vocal gun control activist, matching US$750,000 of donations received within 24 hours of the Florida High School Shooting earlier this month.

Where they live

The ‘Big Two’ are Greater China and the USA with 819 and 571 billionaires, making up over half of the billionaires on the planet. It has been a good year for India too, which shot past Germany into third place. Mexico and Chile broke into the Top 20 for the first time. Beijing is now the undisputed billionaire capital of the world, adding 37 to 131, ahead of New York. “There are now more billionaires in the neighbouring cities of Hong Kong and Shenzhen than there are in the whole of California, 158 compared with 139,” says Hoogewerf.

Self-made degrees: Hurun Research’s bespoke measure of the degree to which billionaires are inherited or self-made. The scorecard is out of five, where 1 is inherited and not active in business, and 5 is self-made without help from parents.

69% are totally self-made, 22% are partly self-made, inheriting a large stake from their parents but growing it aggressively, such as Donald Trump, while 9% are inherited.

The most popular route to becoming a billionaire is ‘self-made without much of a helping hand from parents’, such as Oprah Winfrey, making up 36% of the list and overtaking for the first time ‘self-made, with a helping hand from parents’, such as Mark Zuckerberg, who went to one of the most exclusive US private schools, at 32%. China is the world’s engine when it comes to self-made billionaires.
