Hurun Research Institute: There will be 3,442 billionaires in the world by 2025; Huang Renxun's wealth in the AI ​​field exceeds $100 billion

The Hurun Global Rich List was recently released, and the data showed that the world's billionaires have added 163 new members, bringing the total number to a record 3,442. In the current surging wave of science and technology, the development of the AI ​​field is still unstoppable and continues to accelerate. As the overlord of Nvidia in the field of artificial intelligence GPU, its helmsman Huang Renxun has achieved a substantial increase in wealth by relying on the company's absolute dominance in this field, successfully breaking through the $100 billion mark.

Although he only holds 3% of Nvidia's shares, Nvidia's outstanding performance in the AI ​​chip market has made Huang Renxun's wealth soar like a rocket, making him a dazzling star on the global wealth stage.

At the same time, new wealth benchmarks have emerged in the field of AI. Liang Wenfeng, the 40-year-old founder of Hangzhou-based DeepSeek, and Sam Altman, the 39-year-old head of OpenAI, have made their first appearance on the Hurun Global Rich List with wealth of 33 billion yuan and 13 billion yuan respectively.

It is worth mentioning that Liang Wenfeng's wealth is more than twice that of Sam Altman. Previously, OpenAI carried out drastic reforms and reorganizations of its non-profit model.

In terms of the sources of wealth for billionaires, the financial services industry topped the list with a share of 9.8%, becoming an important cradle for the rich. The consumer goods industry followed closely behind, accounting for 8.6%; the healthcare industry accounted for 7.6%; and the retail and investment industries each accounted for 7.2%. These industries play an important role in the global economy and have accumulated huge wealth for the rich.

In addition, Hurun gave five highly competitive candidates for the future richest man in China.

If Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group, can keenly capture the opportunities brought by the wave of robotics technology, with his deep accumulation and innovation capabilities in the field of science and technology, he is expected to become the richest man in China.

Zeng Yuqun, the head of CATL, will also be a strong competitor if the new energy vehicle track can continue to maintain a good development trend, relying on its leading position in the field of power batteries.

Liang Wenfeng holds more than 80% of DeepSeek's shares. If DeepSeek can reach OpenAI's current valuation of one trillion, he is very likely to become the richest man in China.

Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, also has the potential to become the richest man in China if the virtual currency market continues to be active, thanks to his huge influence in the cryptocurrency field.

If Cambrian founder Chen Tianshi can continue to seize the development opportunities in the computing power market and rely on his innovative breakthroughs in the field of AI chips, he will also be a strong candidate for China's richest man in the future.

These five candidates have each demonstrated strong strength and potential in different fields, and the future identity of China's richest man is full of suspense and expectations.
