阿里上市造就日本新首富孙正义

????阿里巴巴（Alibaba）规模庞大的首次公开募股，使孙正义成为了目前的日本首富。

????据彭博社（Bloomberg）的数据显示，从上周初以来，软银（Softbank）股票上涨了16%，使孙正义的净资产达到166亿美元。

????孙正义创建的软银持有阿里巴巴集团34%的股份，此次，该网络零售商可能创纪录的IPO，使软银受益匪浅。阿里巴巴提高了之前的新股发行价格区间，计划筹资218亿美元。

????孙正义也一举超越迅销公司（Fast Retailing Co.）董事长柳井正，成为日本首富。柳井正的净资产为162亿美元。

????孙正义和柳井正均属于日益增多的亚洲亿万富翁俱乐部成员。去年，亚洲亿万富翁创造财富的速度，远远超过世界其他地区。据《金融时报》（Financial Times）报道，全球亿万富翁去年整体财富增长了12%，其中有三分之一要归功于亚洲的富豪。

????孙正义在亚太区亿万富豪排行榜上名列第九。阿里巴巴CEO马云以219亿美元名列第四，而其公司在周五上市之后，马云的财富将继续增长。

????目前，全球亿万富翁的财富值超过了道琼斯工业平均指数（Dow Jones Industrial Average）中所有公司市值的总和。据研究机构Wealth-X调查，全世界4%的财富被亿万富翁们掌握着。

????而纽约是亿万富翁最多的城市（103人），香港（82人）和北京（37人）分别名列第三和第五位。东京甚至没能进入前十名。（365娱乐场）

????Masayoshi Son is now the richest man in Japan, thanks to Alibaba’s rocketing initial public offering.

????Son’s net worth jumped to $16.6 billion after Softbank’s shares gained 16% since the beginning of last week, according to Bloomberg data.

????Softbank, which was founded by Son, holds about 34% of Alibaba Group and has benefited from the e-retailer’s potentially record-breaking IPO. Alibaba plans to raise as much as $21.8 billion after raising the share price of its offering.

????Son surpassed Fast Retailing Co. Chairman Tadashi Yanai, who has a $16.2 billion fortune, to take the country’s top spot.

????Son and Yanai are part of a growing number of Asian billionaires, which have created wealth at a much higher rate than any other area of the world over the past year. Of the 12% growth in billionaire wealth, a third is attributed to Asia’s wealthiest, reported the Financial Times.

????In the Asia Pacific region, Son moved up to become the ninth wealthiest billionaire. Alibaba CEO Jack Ma holds the No. 4 spot in the region with a $21.9 billion fortune, though that could grow after the company goes public on Friday.

????Global billionaire wealth is now worth more than the combined market value of all companies within the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Billionaires hold about 4% of global wealth, according to a survey by Wealth-X.

????While New York has the most billionaires (103), Hong Kong (82) and Beijing (37) follow in the third and fifth spots, respectively. Tokyo didn’t even crack the top ten.
