Why the list stops at a billion

Below $1 billion nobody publishes fortunes by name. Henley & Partners counted about 29,350 people with $100 million or more of liquid investable assets in 2024 (28,420 in 2023), and far more above $50 million — but as anonymous counts by city and country, not a named ranking. Hurun counts more billionaires than Forbes (3,428 at 1 March 2026) because the two value private companies and family holdings differently.

Source: Hurun Global Rich List 2026, published 2026-03-05; wealth as of 2026-01-15. Rank ties share a number. “Based in” is the headquarters Hurun gives for the fortune’s company; a city links to its local page only where it matches one with certainty (a name several places share, like Columbia or Springfield, is settled from where the fortune is, or left unlinked). Forbes and Bloomberg’s live lists do not allow our crawler; /wealth carries Forbes’ latest top 100.
