Recently, UBS released the 11th “Billionaires Report”, looking at the wealth map of people with assets of more than 1 billion US dollars. The data shows that in 2025, the number of billionaires increased to 2,919, and their total wealth reached a record 15.8 trillion US dollars, an increase of 13%. Among them, the number of billionaires in the Asia-Pacific region increased from 981 to 1,036, the highest increase in the world. Mainland China added 70 new billionaires in 2025. Currently, there are 470 people, second only to the US. Notably, in 2025, the world's 196 self-made billionaires added $386.5 billion to their wealth, second only to 360 in 2021. They come from diverse fields such as marketing software, infrastructure, catering, genetics, and liquefied natural gas. Representatives include Ben Lamm, founder of Colossal Biosciences, Michael Dorrell, co-founder of infrastructure investment company Stonepeak Partners, and the Zhang brothers from China's Michelle Ice City. In fact, the number of self-made billionaires has continued to rise for years. Lu Zijie, head of UBS Wealth Management in China, pointed out that judging from growth data, Greater China is the biggest growth engine for the world's billionaires — the total wealth of mainland Chinese billionaires reached 1.8 trillion US dollars, an increase of 22.2% over the previous year. More particularly, 98% of the people mentioned above are self-employed entrepreneurs, which is consistent with the characteristics of most of China's creative generation.
