The ranks of the world’s billionaires continue to scale new heights–and stretch to new corners of the world. Our global wealth team found 1,645 billionaires with an aggregate net worth of $6.4 trillion, up from $5.4 trillion a year ago. 今年，全球亿万富豪的队伍继续壮大，规模再次刷新纪录，而且全球覆盖范围延伸到新的角落。上榜人数多达1,645人，净资产总额高达6.4万亿美元，较上年的5.4万亿美元出现大幅增长。 Bill Gates is back on top after a four-year hiatus, reclaiming the title of world’s richest person from telecom mogul Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico, who ranked No. 1 for the past four years. Gates, whose fortune rose by $9 billion in the past year, has held the top spot for 15 of the past 20 years. Spanish clothing retailer Amancio Ortega (best known for the Zara fashion chain) retains the No. 3 spot for the second year in a row, extending his lead over Warren Buffett, who is again No. 4. 阔别全球首富宝座四年之后，比尔·盖茨再次问鼎，从卡洛斯·斯利姆·埃卢那里重新夺回了世界首富的桂冠——过去四年来这位墨西哥电信巨头一直雄踞榜首。在过去的20年中，本榜冠军的宝座有15年被盖茨夺得；盖茨的财富去年增长了90亿美元。西班牙服装零售商阿曼西奥·奥特加，以旗下的Zara Zara时装连锁店最为著名）连续第二年位列季军，并且扩大了对第四名沃伦·巴菲特的领先优势。 |
