Hurun reports on the number of billionaires in the world and China's leadership

China once again topped the ranking of countries in terms of the number of people with a fortune of more than $1 billion. This is evidenced by the Hurun Global Rich List 2026 report, prepared by the Chinese research company Hurun.

According to the data, the number of billionaires in the world for the first time exceeded 4 thousand and reached 4,020 people. China has once again become the country with the largest number of such residents — last year it lost the championship to the United States. According to the latest information, there are 1,110 billion in China, which is 287 more than in last year's report. The United States ranks second with 1,000 billion, 130 more than a year ago.
