Not so. This year, says Shanghai Daily, "Four of the top 10 richest are real estate developers compared with just two a year ago."

And People's Daily says "Real estate tycoons constitute 23.5 percent of the list, making the sector the top wealth source."

Not that authoritative...

More of the newly rich than in recent years asked to be left out of Forbes Asia's latest China rich list, said Russell Flannery, a senior editor at the magazine who oversaw the compilation of the list, which was released on Thursday.

The reason for not wanting to be on the list appears to be the fact that so many people on previous lists are now in jail for corruption...

i think the more important question would be: how many of them made their fortunes with connections to the government or by honest means.

Actually I'm on that list.

As far as I'm aware, I'm the only gigolo among the top ten.
