On April 7, US local time, Forbes released the 2020 list of the world’s billionaires.
Affected by the recent epidemic and stock market turmoil, the number of rich people on the list this year is 2,095, down from 2,153 in 2019; the total wealth of the rich list is $8 trillion, down from 8.7 in 2019 trillions of dollars. A total of 267 people fell off the list, and 1,062 people’s wealth declined.
From the perspective of country distribution, the United States has the most billionaires, followed by China, followed by Germany, India, and Russia.
China has made an outstanding performance in this year’s list, with 389 richest people in mainland China, 36 in Taiwan, 66 in Hong Kong, and 1 in Macau.
Among the top 10 richest people, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has topped the list for three consecutive years, and Bill Gates is still No. 2. It can be seen that in the top ten list, the richest people from the United States occupy the majority. It is not difficult to find that technology companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, and Facebook occupy the main force of the list.
