Shame Hurun doesn't publish its source data, or a list of those people.

Which is an irrelevant objection, unless the list is inaccurate. Hurun reports are widely cited with few (if any) questions on its accuracy.

In fact, it's an inaccurate objection proven by 1 minute of research: https://www.hurun.net/en-US/Rank/HsRankDetails?pagetype=glob...

I could make the same statements about Forbes and Knight Frank, so that doesn't help explain the 3x disparity between Hunan's figures and the rest.

>it's an inaccurate objection proven by 1 minute of research:

I too found that list of the globe's billionaires. As we are comparing the rates of billionaires in the US, UK, and France, that page doesn't help.

The raw data is there to help you derive and check Hurun’s claim.

Perhaps you mean you want an easy way to sort and aggregate the information in order to dispute this.

However, the burden is on you to do this as you’re the one questioning the accuracy of the widely cited Hurun list.

At this point it’s hard to take your objection seriously; nor view it as anything more than cherry picking with an underlying agenda.
