6. Hong Kong: 55 Billionaires
Hong Kong is known as the leading international financial center due to its low taxation and free trade. This is one of the reasons why it successfully molded 55 billionaires.
Li Ka-shing is currently leading the rest 54 billionaires with his $27.1 billion of net worth. He is also the richest man in Asia and the 20th world’s richest.
Among his business industries are real estate, retail, ports and electricity, asset trading, plastic manufacturing, and also Internet and technology. He is now the chairman of CK Hutchison Holdings’ board.
Compared to the previous four countries, Hong Kong only ranked the 36th world’s largest economy with $310.074 million GDP nominal. This makes sense since the country’s main income is trading.
