TheHurun Global Rich List 2015ranked 2089 billionaires from 68 countries, up 222 from last year, in a record-breaking year for the world’s billionaires.

The Russian Rouble collapse, brought about by a stagnating Russian economy, sanctions due to Ukrainian conflict and cheaper oil price by the OPEC, has been the cause for 60% of Russian billionaires to see their wealth drop, led byVladimir YevtushenkovandVagit Alekperov of Lukoil whose wealth fell by 77% and 73% respectively.

Bill Gates, 59,retainsthe number 1spot with a fortune of US$85bn, up US$17bn, on the back of strong gains on his investments. Interestingly, one quarter of his wealth is parked with Warren Buffett, exceeding the value of his remaining stake in Microsoft. Other investments include US$3.5bn in Facebook, owned by Mark Zuckerberg also in the Top 10, and close to US$2bn in the Four Seasons hotel chain, majority owned by Prince Alwaleed, one of the Top 20. Gates became a billionaire by the age of 31. Despite being one of the biggest philanthropists in the world, Gates has been in the Top 3 of theHurun Global Rich Listsince its inception four years ago.

Carlos Slim Helu, 75, regains his second spot with a 38% surge in his fortune to US$83bn. Interestingly, Slim is said to like to drive himself and has lived in the same six-bedroom house for the past 40 years. Slim has six children.

Warren Buffett, 84,saw his wealth shoot up by US$12bn or 19%. Buffett donated US$2.8bn to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation last year. Interestingly,99 percent of his wealth was earned after his 50th birthday. His children, Susan, Howard and Peter, run their own charity foundations. “I would say the most satisfying thing is watching my children pick up on their own interests," Buffett said, "and work many more hours per week, than most people that have jobs, at trying to intelligently give away that money in fields that they particularly care about."

Amancio Ortega, 78, is out of the top three for the first time in three years, after seeing his stake in Zara drop by US$7bn, due in part to a drop in the Euro. Ortega has three children.

Larry Ellison, 70,with US$54bn, saw his wealth increase by 13%. Ellison is a signatory of The Giving Pledge, committing to donate more than half his wealth to philanthropic causes. Ellison is best-known for his passion for the sea, racing in the America’s Cup owning one of the biggest yachts in the world and in 2012 buying one of Hawaii’s largest islands. Interestingly, Steve Jobs was the official photographer at Ellison’s wedding.

Bernard Arnault, 65, stays at sixth with US$45bn. Arnault has five children from two marriages.

Mark Zuckerberg,at 30 the youngest member of the Top 10, has had a great year. His wealth soared 42%, moving him up 11 places no. 7. In October, Zuckerberg surprised many with the quality of his spoken Chinese during a visit to Tsinghua University in China. Zuckerberg graduated from one of America’s best-known private high schools, Phillips Exeter Academy, which is why Hurun Report assessed his self-made score ‘4’. Zuckerberg has donated US$2bn. Five Facebook billionaires made the Hurun List.

Dieter Schwarz,75, saw his wealth shoot up 29% to US$36bn and winning him a place in the Top 10 for the first time. Schwarz inherited a retailing business from his father but has since grown it significantly. Schwarz is known to be very low-key.

Charles, 79, and David Koch, 74, go up one place despite their wealth remaining the same.

nd th Jeff Bezos and Sheldon Adelson out of Top 10after just one year, down to 22 and 24 place respectively.

Measuring the degree to which Billionaires are Self-Made

This year, Hurun Report innovated a scorecard measuring 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.

Self-made with a little help from parentswas the most common route to becoming a billionaire. An example is Mark Zuckerberg, who was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy, one of America’s best- known private high schools,. Second was self-made without help from parents, most of whom are coming from China and the US. Third was inheriting a business and growing it into a much bigger entity, eg Rupert Murdoch.

China leads with self-made ‘5s’.

25% of theSelf-Made ‘4s’ and ‘5s’female, whilst 72% of the ‘1s’ are female. For the ‘2s’, the are majority of the Chinese are from HK.

69% are self-madeand a further 19% are substantially self-made in that they grew an inherited business into a much bigger business.

82 individuals, or 4%, are from the 4th generation or more. The 82 come from 52 companies.
