Most things in real life are equal, just like those rich people, the reason why it is so easy for them to make money is mainly because they are rich themselves and their wealth will accumulate faster. It is undeniable that although we live in the same society, the lives of the wealthy and ordinary people are very different.
For those rich people, especially billionaires, they not only have a rich net worth, but also have a very high social status. At the same time, relevant institutions will also update the rankings for the world's rich people every year. According to the 2022 " Forbes " Global Rich List, compared with 2021, the number of billionaires on the list in 2022 is 2,668, a decrease of 87 compared with the previous one.
Not only that, in the rankings of the global rich list, the rankings and wealth of some rich people have also changed. For example, the richest people in Asia have long changed hands, so what is the specific situation?
The founder of Tesla is still the richest man in the world. His net assets can reach US$219 billion, and he has been ranked as the richest man in the world for many years. The reason why Musk has such a huge net worth is mainly because its two companies:
One is the global automotive giant Tesla . It is understood that Tesla's net profit in the first half of this year could reach US$5.578 billion, or RMB 37.66 billion; the other company in is SpaceX. It is understood that SpaceX company has the top technology content worldwide. As of now, the number of Starlink satellites has been launched as high as 3,162.
In addition, , which once ranked as the richest man in the world, has won the position of Bezos , Bill Gates and Buffett , their assets have shrunk , ranking second, fourth and fifth respectively in this world rich ranking, with assets under them being US$171 billion, US$129 billion and US$118 billion respectively.
Among the top five rich people in the world, there is a relatively surprising rich man. Indian entrepreneur - Gautam Adani has become the third richest man in the world, with a net worth of US$137.4 billion and is also the richest man in Asia. Not only that, Adani's wealth is also growing very fast.
It is understood that in February this year, Adani's net assets were US$90.1 billion, but in the latest statistics in August this year, Adani's value soared to US$137.4 billion. In other words, it took about half a year for Adani to increase his value by US$47.3 billion.
According to relevant information, the reason why Adani owns so many assets is also accumulated through long-term accumulation. Adani Group, a subsidiary of Adani, is currently the largest coal importer in India and is highly competitive on a global scale. At the same time, Adani Group's business covers many fields, such as aerospace, gas, port logistics, etc. It is worth mentioning that India's largest airport operator, private port, and urban gas distributor are currently owned by Adani Group.
plus the increasing tension in the international environment, both in India and around the world, the demand for coal has been increasing. It is precisely because of this that Adani's wealth has also increased sharply in recent months. Therefore, Adani can become the third richest man in the world and the richest man in Asia, which is inseparable from the help of opportunities. So what is the ranking of Chinese rich people in this list of global rich people?
In terms of the number of people on the list, China has 607 people on the 2022 Forbes Global Rich List, second only to the United States, and is the second country on the list. Among them, China's richest man is Zhong Shanshan , the founder of Nongfu Spring , and ranked 17th in the world with a net worth of US$65.7 billion.
Perhaps some people will wonder why Zhong Shanshan can become the richest man in China? On the surface, Nongfu Spring is a water-selling company, but in its essence, the seemingly ordinary packaged drinking water contains huge business opportunities. According to the relevant financial reports of beverage companies in 2021, Nongfu Spring's gross profit margin can be as high as 60%, and in the first half of this year, Nongfu Spring's revenue reached 16.599 billion yuan and net profit was 4.608 billion yuan, an increase of 14.8% compared with the same period in 2021. Moreover, in terms of the market value of Nongfu Spring, its current market value has reached HK$520.71 billion.
In addition, the actual controller of Wantai Bio is actually Zhong Shanshan. Wantai Bio is a company engaged in drug research and development and vaccine production . Under the special circumstances in the past two years, the pharmaceutical field has developed in full swing, and Wantai Bio's market value is also soaring. It is understood that the gross profit margin of the bivalent HPV vaccine launched by Wantai Bio in 2021 can reach 92%, and in the current domestic bivalent HPV vaccine market, Wantai Bio accounts for more than 85% of the market share.
Conclusion:
Overall, the reason why Adani can become Asia's richest man is inseparable from the chance of timing, and this variable is uncontrollable. In the subsequent ranking update, whether Adani can maintain the position of the third richest man in the world is also full of uncertainty. The reason why Zhong Shanshan was able to become a rich man in China is not only because of the opportunities of the times, but also because of his down-to-earth management. Whether it is Nongfu Spring or Wantai Biological, they have a leading position in their respective industries.
