According to the 2025 “UBS Billionaires Report” released by UBS, the number of global billionaires increased by 8.8% to 2,919, and their total wealth reached a new high of 15.8 trillion US dollars, an increase of 13%. The Asia-Pacific region experienced a significant recovery in 2025, with the number of billionaires rising from 981 to 1,036, the highest increase in the world. Of the Asia Pacific billionaires, up to 79% are self-employed, leading all regions. The total wealth of the region's billionaires grew 11.1% to $4.2 trillion. Overall, mainland China still holds a leading position in the Asia-Pacific region, adding US$321.4 billion in wealth to US$1.8 trillion. China has added 70 new billionaires. Currently, there are 470 people, second only to the US with 924. From an industry perspective, the wealth of tech billionaires grew by 23.8% to $3 trillion, ranking first in the global industry, along with consumer and retail. After DeepSeek released a large-scale language model at the beginning of this year and the market's renewed interest in the development of “Made in China” technology, tech billionaires in Greater China have also made a strong comeback, and their wealth growth is on the rise. Meanwhile, the development momentum of the European luxury goods industry was replaced by Chinese brands, causing consumer and retail growth to slow to 5.3%. Despite this, the industry still gathers the most wealth of the world's billionaires, totaling $3.1 trillion.
