The world's most influential rich list: Li Ka-shing ranked eight

Billionaires are now growing, and who among them is the world's most influential rich? The latest issue of Forbes magazine is the answer in a recent release of the world's most influential rich list.　　In the 20-person list, New York City Mayor Bloomberg, the scandal-ridden Italian prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and the Russian oil giant Alekperov two or three.　　Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, rose from 11th last year to eighth place, the only Chinese to be selected.　　Once people have wealth, power and influence come along, but there are not many millionaires who have money, power and influence, and those who are on this list need to have these three elements at the same time. Take "Champion" Bloomberg as an example, its net worth is about 17.5 billion dollars.　　Meanwhile, as much as $100 million of campaign costs won the throne of Mayor New York last November, its efforts to boost energy efficiency, and controversial indoor anti-smoking laws, inspired other cities around the world. The list shows that Warren Buffett's ranking fell from fourth to sixth.　　Analysts point out that the main reason is that the financial crisis has caused its investment income to fall; Microsoft founder Bill Gates fell from first to tenth place, largely because it was far from the executive circle. Slim, the fourth-largest Mexican telecoms leader, has a personal wealth of 2% of Mexico's gross domestic product. Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, combined with his status as a building and communications tycoon, won the fifth.　　In the 20th place is the French senator, Dassault Group chairman of the Serre Daso, with a net worth of 540 million U.S. dollars, visible selected high conditions.　　American talk show host Oprah Winfrey, Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich and Saudi Prince Talal have lost their wealth by Shupang.　　Li Ka-shing, Asia's richest man, has a huge influence, with power originating in his real estate and port business, and the company's Cheung Kong and Hutchison shares rose 45% and 54% respectively in a year, Forbes magazine said in its website. After the release of the list, Li Ka-shing maintained a consistent low-key style, the media silence.　　The financial crisis last year had a big impact on some of the rich in the US and Europe, but Li Ka-shing's company benefited from the good environment of China's economy, especially in industrial investment, and its success was rare globally, said one industry insider who focused on the home list.
