Where a Chinese fortune sits in a publicly-listed company, we value it live from the current share price and convert to US dollars, so the ranking above moves throughout the trading day. Privately-held wealth is added as a manually-updated estimate. All figures are independent, directional estimates — not audited valuations, and not affiliated with Forbes or Bloomberg.
