> Hurun Global Rich List sees drastic changes
最新胡润全球富豪榜出炉：LV老板超马斯克 中国富豪人数再次领跑

The world's billionaires, with a personal wealth of at least $1 billion, reported the biggest slump on record last year, with the total number down by 8 percent, to 3,112, according to the Hurun Global Rich List 2023 released on Thursday.
《2023年胡润全球富豪榜》23日新鲜出炉，结果显示，去年全球个人财富达到至少10亿美元的亿万富翁人数出现了自记录以来的最大跌幅，下降了8%，至3112位。

The combined wealth of these billionaires also shrank 10 percent year-on-year, to $13.7 trillion.
他们的总财富也较去年同期减少了10%，为13.7万亿美元。

Rupert Hoogewerf, chairman and chief researcher of Hurun Report, said such drastic contraction can be largely attributed to the sluggish performance of the stock market last year, which was a combined result of interest rate hikes, the appreciation of the US dollar, the popping of a COVID-driven tech bubble, and the continued impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
胡润百富董事长兼首席研究员胡润解释说，这种剧烈的资产缩水很大程度归因于去年股市的疲软表现、加息、美元走强、疫情引发的科技泡沫破裂以及俄乌冲突持续影响的综合结果。

Seventy-four-year-old Bernard Arnault, CEO of luxury conglomerate LVMH, took first place in the Hurun Global Rich List this year, with his wealth surging 32 percent year-on-year to $202 billion.
奢侈品集团路威酩轩集团74岁的首席执行官伯纳德•阿诺特的财富同比增长32%，达到2020亿美元，在今年的榜单上排在首位。

That can be largely attributed to LVMH's record high business results last year, with its sales revenue up 23 percent year-on-year to 79.2 billion euros, and profits up 22 percent from a year earlier, to 21.1 billion euros.
这很大程度上归功于该集团去年创纪录的高业绩，其销售收入同比增长23%，达到792亿欧元，利润同比增长22%，达到211亿欧元。

Elon Musk, Tesla's chief executive and the world's richest man one year earlier, was dislodged to second place on the 2023 list, with his personal wealth down 23 percent, to $157 billion.
去年的世界首富、特斯拉首席执行官埃隆•马斯克的财富同比缩水23%，降至1570亿美元，在今年的富豪榜上排名第二。

Bertrand Puech, 87, CEO of luxury kingdom Hermes, saw his position rise seven places to become the third richest person in the world on this year's list.

His wealth has surged 31 percent year-on-year, to $134 billion.
他的财富同比增长了31%，达到1340亿美元。

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who came in at fourth on the latest list, saw his wealth shrink 37 percent to $118 billion in 2022.
亚马逊创始人杰夫•贝佐斯在榜单中排名第四，其财富在2022年缩水了37%，至1180亿美元。

Microsoft founder Bill Gates dropped out of the top five for the first time since the inception of the Hurun Global Rich List. Coming in at sixth this year, his wealth contracted 11 percent to $110 billion.
去年，微软创始人比尔•盖茨的财富缩水了11%，至1100亿美元，榜单排名第六，自胡润全球富豪榜发布以来首次跌出前五。
