Forbes has been tracking the world’s wealthiest people since 1987. In that year, Japanese businessman Yoshiaka Tsutsumi was the world’s richest, then worth $20 billion. In the past 25 years a lot has changed and the richest Japanese, Tadashi Yanai, now ranks 66 as the world’s richest.
There are 386 billionaires in the Asia-Pacific region, who together own combined wealth of $1.16 trillion. No area in the world saw a bigger growth in the number of new billionaires than Asia- Pacific, home to 78 new billionaires, 29% from Real Estate.
The richest new billionaires from the Asia-Pacific region are Singaporean brothers Robert and Philip Ng, who control a real estate empire and are worth $10.1 Billion.
