China No.2 in billionaires after Zimbabwe?
According to Rupert Hoogewerf, China has more billionaires than any country except one. Which one ? United States of America you will say and you are not wrong.
But if you have been following the international news these days, especially more about politics than economy, you are likely to say Zimbabwe. Yes the country of Mugabe is now the home of world 90% billionaires at least if you don’t mind about currency. In Zimbabwe now, if u are a not billionaire, you won’t even get a bread. If you’ve been dreaming becoming billionaire, take your flight to Zimbabwe and exchange your few notes of USA dollars with local currency and that’s it.
The number of Chinese (China mainland only: China excluding : Taiwan , Hong kong and Macau SARs) worth $1 billion or more jumped to 108, from 15 last year, Hoogewerf said in his 2007 “rich list,” which ranks the 800 wealthiest individuals in the Chinese mainland.
