In the USA, Forbes magazine has published its annual list of the richest people in the world. Bill Gates of Microsoft is the richest man again for the eleventh successive year with a fortune of forty four billion dollars.
There is a record of 691 dollar billionaires according to Forbes magazine. Between them they have a fortune of two point two trillion dollars. The highest concentration of the ultra rich is in New York followed by Moscow and San Francisco and then London and Los Angeles. But in total the very wealthy live in forty-seven different countries with Iceland Kazakstan Ukraine and Poland entering the list for the first time this year.
Laksmi Mittal, an Indian born steel tycoon(巨头)enjoyed the biggest increase in personal fortune. His net worth has quadrupled(变成四倍)to thirteen billion dollars, making him the world’ s third richest man. Ingvar Kamprad, founder of the Swedish furniture chain Ikea, also saw a big increase in wealth taking him to the sixth place. Developing countries make more of a showing than in past years—there are for example three Russians and four Indians in the top sixty richest people, though surprisingly perhaps none from China excluding Hong Kong. Asian wealth is probably underrepresented as it usually spreads among families whereas Forbes looks at individuals. Relatively few women feature in the list—among them is JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels, ranked 620th with a fortune of 519 million dollars. New entrants to the list include the founders of the Internet search group Google Sergie Brin and Larry Page, each worth more than seven billion dollars after their company’s recent stock market debut. The richest Italian is the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi ranked number 25 in the global wealth league.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
选项
A、No Chinese has entered the top sixty richest people in the world.
B、Russia is a developing country.
C、This is the first time that Sergie Brin and Larry Page have been included in the list.
D、There are more billionaires in New York than any other city in the world.
答案
A
解析
根据文中第三段可知中国大陆无人进入富豪榜前60名,但香港有人进入,故选项A是错误的。
