As the economy develops, the number of billionaires and their fortune increase. From this point of view, China is interesting, which is called the locomotive of the world economy.
How are things in China?
Economic growth has recently been measured at double-digit rates. Now this figure has fallen, but the People’s Republic of China is still the world leader in
terms of growth (about 7 percent per year). But along with this, a number of unsatisfactory trends arise. Thus, problems with the stock market and false information about the economic condition of the state raise certain doubts about stability. But, despite these conditions, the number of billionaires is increasing, although there are periodic changes in their capital. China's billionaires, whose list will be replenished and growing in the future, will be listed below.
Is it dangerous to be a billionaire in China?
We should also talk about whether it is dangerous to be a billionaire. The fact is that most of them around the world are dying quite calmly. And in China, everything is somewhat different: about 2/3 since 2003 have been repressed by the state or have died under strange circumstances. So the Chinese billionaires of money in this case do not feel much relief.
List of billionaires
A list of 10 people was selected. Each of them made a certain contribution to the development of the state by creating a huge enterprise that employs thousands and tens of thousands of people. The exact amounts of assets that some of them own are reliably unknown due to the fact that Chinese billionaires, like the economy, are rather closed and do not advertise their fortunes very much. In addition, significant investments in the construction sector, which is currently experiencing a boom, from the state partially flow into private pockets, which does not exclude the participation of officials in these processes. A transfer of such money is not accepted to advertise. But, despite the certain conservatism of China, if you look at these people, they are not much different from other people of the same kind. As confirmation in the article there are Chinese billionaires, photos of these people. We turn to the objects of the written article:

Popular Earnings
As it becomes clear from their stories, the main sources of income are the areas of construction and high technology. The richest Chinese billionaires (the list compiled in the article confirms the effectiveness and profitability of these industries) made fortunes on this. The service sector is not profitable enough, but, nevertheless, with a certain talent, like Lee Cushing, for example, here you can get income that can lead to the leaders.
What do their lives have in common?
It should be noted that, although some billionaires are the heirs to successful business empires, the majority still get what they have by working hard for themselves and their goals. They walked towards their goal, not stepping back a single step. Despite various interferences, they worked on their company. It is necessary to pay tribute to such people: they can show determination and perseverance in situations where many give up.
Education
Attention should also be paid to education. In a number of cases, especially in the field of information technology, it would be difficult to achieve effectiveness without getting a good education. But the main thing is that even after graduating from schools and universities, they continue to study and engage in self-education. And this is not because you need a diploma or someone said that education is needed. These people understood that the world does not stand still, and in order to lead it forward, one should be ahead in front.
Social and political activity
An important component of the image of Chinese billionaires is philanthropy, environmental protection and active political activity. And it is good that Chinese billionaires, who were able to rise to the very top, think about the important role of man in the world.
