Leadership
Chinese business news website Jiemian
has released its annual China Rich List, detailing the country’s wealthiest individuals. All 1,000 billionaires on the list have a minimum net worth of approximately RMB30 billion (RM18.5 billion), while Pony Ma, the Tencent founder who sits at the top of the list, is worth an estimated RMB282 billion (RM174 billion).
While some of the names on the list will be familiar to many, one pattern that might not instantly jump out is the number of people at the top who started with nothing. Of the top six names on Jiemian’s list, five of them are self-made entrepreneurs who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. Here’s how they made their billions.
