北京首次超越紐約成爲"富豪之都"
This year's Hurun Global Rich List shows Beijing has replaced New York as the billionaire capital of the world.
今年的《胡潤全球富豪榜》顯示，北京已經取代紐約成爲全球億萬富豪之都。Beijing now reportedly has 100 billionaires, compared with New York's 95. Beijing acquired 32 new billionaires last year, while New York accrued only an additional four. Moscow came in third place, with 66 total billionaires, while Hong Kong and Shanghai came in fourth and fifth with 64 and 50, respectively.
該報告稱，目前北京的億萬富豪人數已達100人，超過了紐約的95人。北京的億萬富豪人數在去年新增32人，而紐約僅新增4人。莫斯科的億萬富豪人數爲66人，排名第三。而香港和上海分別以64名和50名排在第四和第五位。The study, which comes months after reports suggested China now has more billionaires than the United States, highlights how China's elite are continuing to accrue vast wealth despite a wobbling stock market and cooling economy.
這項報告凸顯了中國精英們如何在股市動盪和經濟不景氣的情況下繼續積累財富，而在幾個月前就曾有報告稱中國億萬富翁的數量已經超過美國。
Rupert Hoogewerf, the founder of Hurun, attributed China's explosive wealth creation to Chinese market regulators allowing a flood of new initial public offerings after holding back new IPOs for several years.
胡潤研究院創始人胡潤將中國財富的爆炸式增長歸因於中國市場監管機構允許一系列新IPO（首次公開招股）交易的進行，結束了對其多年的限制。Hoogewerf said his wealth calculations were made using stock prices as of Jan. 15, which means they took into account the Chinese market's 40 percent tumble over the past half year. Had the calculations been made at the market's peak last summer, the number of Chinese billionaires would have been nearly 150, Hoogewerf said.
胡潤表示，在他作出的財富計算中使用了截至1月15日爲止的股價，這意味着該報告考慮到了中國股市在過去半年時間裏大跌40%的情況。胡潤還稱，要是在去年夏天中國股市觸頂時計算的話，中國億萬富翁的數量應將接近150人。China's richest man, real estate tycoon Wang Jianlin, came in 21st place globally behind Wal-Mart scions, the Swedish family that owns Ikea and Brazilian investor Jorge Paulo Lemann. Other Chinese billionaires in the global top 100 included Alibaba founder Jack Ma, beverage magnate Zong Qinghou, and the tech bosses at phone maker Xiaomi, social media firm Tencent and Baidu, the search engine.
中國首富是地產大亨王健林，他在全球排名第21位，位於來自瑞典、擁有宜家家居的沃爾瑪家族和巴西投資家豪爾赫·保羅·雷曼之後。全球前一百名中的其他中國億萬富翁還包括阿里巴巴創始人馬雲，飲料巨頭宗慶後以及三個高科技公司的老闆們：手機制造商小米、社交媒體公司騰訊、搜索引擎公司百度。Hoogewerf said China had a particularly high proportion of self-made billionaires compared to the United States. "What we showed today is that at the super-wealth creation level, the Chinese are now leading," Hoogewerf said. "People will look at China the same way that people looked at Stanford or Silicon Valley in the 1990s."
胡潤表示，與美國相比，中國億萬富豪中白手起家者所佔的比例特別高。“今天我們公佈的這份報告表明，在超級財富的創造水平上，中國人目前處在領先地位上。”胡潤說，“人們將會像在上世紀九十年代看待美國的斯坦福大學和硅谷一樣看待中國。”
