According to China's business magazine New Fortune's 2018 Chinese wealthy list, the top 10 tycoons' total wealth reached 1.72 trillion yuan, accounting for 18% of the combined wealth of the list's total 500, and the top 10's personal wealth has surpassed 100 billion yuan for the first time.

根據中國商業雜誌《新財富》發佈的2018年中國富人榜，位列榜單前十大亨的財富總和達1.72萬億元，首次突破千億元大關，在榜單500位富人財富總和中所佔比重達18%。

Tech giant Tencent's founder Pony Ma topped the list, with a fortune of 279 billion yuan, followed by Alibaba's Jack Ma, and Evergrande Group's Xu Jiayin, with their personal worth reaching 260 billion yuan, and 229 billion yuan, respectively.

科技巨頭騰訊創始人馬化騰憑藉2790億元的身家位居榜首，阿里巴巴的馬雲和恆大集團的許家印緊隨其後，其個人財富分別爲2600億元和2290億元。

As China's economic structure evolves, the rich list also is changing.

隨着中國經濟結構的演變，富豪榜單也在發生改變。

One fifth of the rich in the 500 list are from the information technology industry, and capital players are fading away from the list.

500富人榜中20%的富豪來自信息技術行業，而資產投資者正逐漸淡出該榜單。

Among the top 10, four of them -- Pony Ma, Jack Ma, Ding Lei (CEO of Chinese game developer NetEase Inc) and Lei Jun (founder of smartphone maker Xiaoxi) -- are from TMT (telecommunications, media and technology) sectors.

排名榜單前10的富人中有4人--馬化騰，馬雲，丁磊（中國遊戲開發商網易首席執行官），雷軍（智能手機制造商小米創始人）來自TMT（電訊、媒體和技術）領域。

Around 2025, China's richest man's personal wealth will match the US' richest man's, and will be in a race to be the world's richest man, the magazine predicted.

《新財富》預計，2025年左右，中國首富將追平美國首富的個人財富，並有實力問鼎全球首富。
