And he managed to surpass Jack Ma, the founder of the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. But also Pony Ma, who is the leader of the Internet company Tencent.

His business ran smoothly, he made billions, and he became the richest Chinese

Zhong Shanshan is 66 years old. And last year it ranked third. Richard Hoogewerf, founder of Hurun magazine, announced Thursday that he publishes the ranking of the richest Chinese.

The emergence of Chief Nongfu Spring is amazing. And this in the conditions in which the billionaire is relatively unknown even in China, Hoogewerf declared.

In addition to the water bottling company, Zhong created the Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy Group. His fortune increased significantly after the listing of the two companies. Hopes of developing a vaccine for Covid-19 have fueled Wantai’s success. Zhong Shanshan’s fortune is estimated at more than $ 100 billion, and his pharmaceutical group is worth more than $ 10 billion, Hoogewerf said. He explained that few entrepreneurs in the world have achieved success simultaneously with two business projects and gave the example of Jack Ma and Elon Musk, according to Agerpres.
