LEADING AUTHORITY ON GLOBAL WEALTH RELEASES SPECIAL REPORT ON WEALTH IMPACT 4MTHS AFTER COVID-19 OUTBREAK 1 / 9 23 June 2020, Shanghai, Mumbai and Oxford. Hurun Research today released Wealth Impact 4mths after Covid-19 Outbreak, a special report looking into wealth changes of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs in the four months ending 31 May 2020. This special report follows on from the Wealth Impact 2mths after Covid-19 Outbreak looking into wealth changes in the two months ending 31 March 2020 and the Hurun Global Rich List 2020, which had a wealth cut-off of 31 January 2020. Stock markets across the world dropped significantly in the first two months after the outbreak but clawed back some of the losses in the second two months. India, the UK and France were down around 20%, with the NYSE, Japan, HK and Germany down around 10%. Mainland China’s stock exchanges were down slightly at 4%, whilst the only major stock market to see a gain was NASDAQ, up 4%. The British Pound and Indian Rupee were down 5.6% down 5.3% against the dollar, whilst the Chinese Yuan and Euro were up 2% and 1%. In the four months since the outbreak, 60% of the Hurun Global Rich List Top 100 saw their wealth rise or stay the same, whilst 40% were down. Rupert Hoogewerf, Hurun Report chairman and chief researcher, said “Whilst the first two months of the outbreak saw a massive wealth wipeout of the Hurun Global Top 100, the second two months saw a V-shaped recovery for two thirds of the Hurun Global Top 100, reminding us that it is dangerous to bet against the world’s best wealth creators.” “The two biggest ‘winners’ from the Hurun Top 100 of Covid-19 were online retailers Jeff Bezos of Amazon and Colin Huang Zheng of Chinese low-end ‘social shopping’ giant Pinduoduo, who added US$20bn and US$18bn to their fortunes, pretty much all the gains coming in the past two months. For Bezos and Huang, Covid-19 has seen their wealth increase in the shape of a ‘Nike tick’”, added Hoogewerf. “Another big winner was Eric Yuan Zheng, 50, of popular video conferencing app Zoom, who saw his wealth triple from US$4.5bn in January to US$13bn today, propelling him up from 555th in the world four months ago to knocking on the door of the world’s Top 100 today.” Table: Biggest Wealth Creations of the Hurun Global 100 in the 4mths to 31 May 2020 Wealth Country of Name change Main Company Main Industry Residence US$bn 1 Jeff Bezos 20 Amazon Online Retail USA 2 Huang Zheng 17 Pinduoduo Online Retail China 3 MacKenzie Bezos 9 Amazon Online Retail USA 4 Giovanni Ferrero 8 Ferrero Rocher Chocolates Belgium 5 Elon Musk 7 Tesla Motors E-Cars USA 6 Bertrand Puech & family 6 Hermes Luxury France 7 Robson Walton 4 Walmart Groceries USA 7 Sun Piaoyang & Zhong Huijuan 4 Hengrui, Hansoh Pharmaceuticals China 7 Pang Kang 4 Haitian Soya Sauce China 7 Liu Yonghao & Family 4 New Hope Pork Production China 7 Zhang Yong & Shu Ping 4 Haidilao Restaurants China Source: Hurun Research Institute 2020 Huang Zheng, 40, of e-commerce platform Pinduoduo, was the fastest riser of the Hurun Global Rich List Top 100 of the past four months, seeing his wealth almost double.

Hoogewerf said “Bernard Arnault and Warren Buffett were the biggest losers, down US$18bn each over the past 4mths. For Arnault it could have been a lot worse, since he was down US$30bn in the first two months after the outbreak, but managed to claw back US$12bn in the following two months.” As a category, investors made the biggest losses. Sheldon Adelson of Las Vegas Sands saw his wealth drop US$7bn, on the back of poor performance of his casinos since the outbreak.

  • World's Richest Get $182 Billion Poorer
    World’s Richest Get $182 Billion Poorer 12/29/15, 3:34 PM World’s Richest Get $182 Billion Poorer By: DailyForex.com They say the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. But in 2015, it was the world’s richest that got poorer, losing a walloping $182 billion this past week alone. The world’s 400 richest people reacted to weak manufacturing data from China and the retreat in commodities which sent global markets plunging. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index which measures the world’s wealthiest people based on market and economic changes, falling commodities prices and signs of a slower- growing China scared investors around the world and are to be blame for the first annual decline for the daily wealth index since it debuted in 2012 and the biggest weekly drop since the expanded tracking list began in September 2014. The Bloomberg Billionaires Index is a group that includes Warren Buffett and Glencore Plc’s Ivan Glasenberg and the combined net worth of the index members fell by $76 billion on Friday alone, when the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of U.S. stocks ended its worst week since 2011. The collapse in oil prices, which has seen its longest weekly losing streak since 1986 amid signs of an extended supply glut, contributed to $15.2 billion in losses for the world’s wealthiest energy billionaires. Continental Resources Inc. Chairman Harold Hamm saw $895 million, or 9 percent of his net worth, vanish in a week. Change of Places According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index….

  • How the Economic Machine Works
    Productivity and Structural Reform: Why Countries Succeed & Fail, and What Should Be Done So Failing Countries Succeed by Ray Dalio In this report the drivers of productivity are shown and are used to create an economic health index. That index shows how 20 major countries are doing as measured by 19 economic health gauges made up of 81 indicators, and it shows what these gauges portend for real GDP growth in each of these countries over the next 10 years. As you will see, past predictions based on this process have been highly reliable. For this reason this economic health index provides both a reliable prognosis for each of these country’s growth rates over the next 10 years and a reliable formula for success. By looking at these cause-effect relationships in much the same way as a doctor looks at one’s genetics, blood tests and regimes for exercise and diet, we can both see each country’s health prospects and know what changes each can make so that these countries can become economically healthier. We are making this research available in the hope that it will facilitate the very important discussions about structural reforms that are now going on and will help both the public and policy makers to look past their ideological differences to see the economy as a machine in much the same way as doctors see bodies as a machine and look at the relationships of cholesterol and heart attacks analytically rather than ideologically. The Template This study is presented in three parts: • In Part 1, “The Formula For Economic Success,” we show how indicators of countries’ productivity and indebtedness would have predicted their subsequent 10-year growth rates going back 70 years, and how these economic health indicators can be used to both predict and shape the long-term economic health of countries.

  • Average Net Worth of Billionaires by Country: 2013 Hurun Rich List
    Average Net Worth of Billionaires by Country: 2013 Hurun Rich List B. C. Forbes, the founder of Forbes magazine, published the most authoritative and first ever list of 30 wealthiest Americans on March 2, 1918. John D Rockefeller, America’s first billionaire, heads this first ever list, with a fortune of $1.2 billion. Then, in 1982 Forbes started publishing the list of 400 wealthiest Americans which changed the way Americans look at the very rich. The first 400 list in 1982 had only 13 billionaires and a net worth $75 million was enough to secure a spot, Ref. [4]. By 2006, all 400 spots were occupied by billionaires. Following the financial crisis of 2008, when many billionaires saw their fortunes plunge, the minimum net worth to enter the list had fallen below $1 billion (to $950 million) but was back up to $1 billion by 2010; see Ref. [4]. In 2011, the price for entry was $1.05 billion, Ref. [5]. Table 1: Comparison of the Forbes and Hurun Rich lists Forbes 2013 Hurun 2013 Billionaires Rich List Worldwide billionaires, N 1426 1453 Number of countries 64 56 Combined worldwide wealth, UN $5.425 trillion $5.491 trillion US billionaires, N 442 409 US combined net worth, UN $1.872 trillion $1.712 trillion Chinese billionaires, N 122 317 Chinese combined net worth $262.91 billion $810.1 billion About $550 billion added to Chinese wealth and $160 billion taken away from US wealth, implying a significant difference in the wealth distribution among billionaires from the other countries (56 versus 64) in these two lists.
