    阿里巴巴马云排在第二位，其名下资产这一年里增加了41%。
    The annual list is compiled by Shanghai publishers Hurun and often compared
to the Forbes list in the US.
    这份年度富豪榜是由上海出版公司“胡润”编制的，一般认为类似于美国的福布斯财富榜。
    The Hurun Report’s rich list is one of the most closely-watched and
accurate assessments of wealth in China. The annual report has been published
for the past 18 years.
    胡润富豪榜是中国受到关注最多、评估最准确的财富榜单。这份年度财富榜已经出版了18年。
    Earlier this year, the publisher released a separate, global list, showing
that the number of billionaires in China outnumbered those in the US for the
first time.
    今年年初，胡润另外单独出版了一份全球财富榜，显示中国亿万富翁人数第一次超过了美国。
    However, none of China’s super-rich make it into the global top 20.
    但是，全球财富总量排名前二十的人中，没有一个中国超级富豪入围。

    His company Dalian Wanda has made headlines throughout the year with a
number of high profile forays into the US movie markets. It has taken over
Legendary Pictures, as well as stepping into US and UK cinema chains and
striking an alliance with Sony Pictures.
    王健林的公司大连万达集团这一年来都在向美国电影市场大举进军，这些高调的行为使其经常成为头版新闻的常客。大连集团收购了传奇影业、更进一步地打进了美国和英国的电影链、还和索尼影业达成了联盟。

and online gaming giant Tencent comes third with $24.6bn.

firm Baoneng Group, whose wealth jumped by 820% to $17.2bn, putting him in
fourth position.
    在过去一年里，财富增长量最大的是投资和地产公司宝能集团总裁姚振华,其个人资产增值了820%，达到了172亿美元，排在富豪榜上第四。
    Hurun chairman Rupert Hoogewerf said Mr Yao’s rise illustrated a shift in
China’s maturing economy.
    胡润总裁鲁伯特指出，姚振华资产的增值说明了中国成熟经济的转变。

creation in China," he explained. "The first money made in China 20 years ago
came from trading, followed by manufacturing, real estate, IT, and today it is
about using the capital markets for financial investments."

the top 10 to number 14 as competition in China’s smartphone market
intensified.
    搜索引擎百度公司总裁李彦宏及其妻子马东敏资产总额147亿美元，名列富豪榜第8位。而由于中国手机市场竞争激烈化，小米创始人雷军掉出了富豪榜前十，排在第14位。
    Most of China’s billionaires live in Beijing, followed by Shenzhen,
Shanghai and Hangzhou.
    中国大多数亿万富翁都居住在北京，其次是深圳、上海和杭州。
