Rank: 3 (Forbes China Rich List 2008)
Chinas richest lost 57 percent of their wealth in the past year amid plummeting stocks, falling property values and wrong-way currency bets, Forbes Asia said. The mainlands 40 wealthiest people are worth $52 billion, the magazine said in an e-mailed release. Liu Yongxing, 60, a Shanghai-based owner of animal-feed factories and aluminum smelters, topped the list with a net worth of $3 billion. He owns East Hope Group, one of Chinas biggest feed producers, Forbes said. His brother Liu Yonghao, 57, placed fourth with $2.2 billion. Gome Electrical Appliances Holdings Ltd. Chairman Huang Guangyu, 39, was second with $2.7 billion after selling $300 million of shares this year. Gomes shares have fallen 72 percent in 2008. Huang topped another list of Chinas richest, released this month by Hurun Inc., a Shanghai-based researcher, with his personal wealth estimated at $6.3 billion. Real-estate heiress Yang Huiyan, 27, of Country Garden Holdings Co., dropped to third place from the top of last years list. Her fortune fell by $14 billion to $2.22 billion partly because of poorly timed property acquisitions, the release said. Zhou Chengjian, 43, founder of the Chinese fashion retailer Metersbonwe, was a new entrant and ranked fifth. Zhou and his family have amassed $2 billion. Chinas strengthening currency helped to stop bigger declines in peoples fortunes. The yuan has gained about 7 percent against the dollar this year.
