The second- and third-wealthiest mainland Chinese billionaires are Liang Wengen ($8 billion), chairman and main shareholder of Sany Group, and Zong Qinghou ($5.9 billion), the founder of China's largest beverage producer, Wahaha.

The report includes 213 Chinese billionaires, 115 of which are from the Chinese mainland.
