ã€World Wide Web Reporter Lin Di】On October 12, the Hurun Research Institute released its "2017 Hurun Report," which quickly sparked a reaction from Ant Financial Group Chairman Peng Lei, who took to social media in the early hours of the morning to question the list. “Is this really a rich list or a crazy one? Still only 40 billion, not 400 billion?†he asked, highlighting his frustration with the figures.
The controversy stems from the fact that Alibaba had 43 shareholders listed, an increase of 25 compared to the previous year. Notably, six of the top individuals behind Jack Ma are affiliated with Ant Financial, including Peng Lei himself, who ranked second in the Alibaba group with a net worth of 40 billion yuan. Chen Liang, Vice President of Ant Financial, also made headlines by surpassing Alibaba CEO Zhang Yong, with a reported net worth of 3.4 billion yuan—over 1.4 billion more than Zhang.
Peng Lei further questioned whether the report could be considered legitimate, recalling past rumors about Alibaba, such as the infamous "Ma Yun's 1.1 billion mansion" story. Under Chinese law, spreading false information online can be considered a criminal offense if it receives over 5,000 views or is retransmitted 500 times. This has led to increased scrutiny of such reports.
Meanwhile, Alipay’s official account published an article titled “I’m Chen Liang, I Really Don’t Have 34 Billion Yuan,†responding to the report with a humorous tone. In the post, Chen Liang joked: “Hi everyone, I’m Chen Liang. The Hurun Report says I have 34 billion yuan, and I’m rushing to find them. They say I’m paying for flowers at Baoli, but I haven’t paid yet and they won’t give me the money. I’m broke now, lost my phone number, and found you. It’s fate. Can you send me 200 yuan via Alipay? After I was on the list, I gave back half of the 3.4 billion points to you. I also hired you as my agent.â€
Hurun founder Hurun Hoogewerf responded to the backlash, stating that the figures are based on publicly available information and that the list remains objective. He added that the wealth of individuals like Zhang Yong is derived from open sources.
The Hurun Rich List, first launched in 1999 as the “Top 100 Richest People in China,†has since been updated annually, with 19 editions released so far. According to Hurun, the list does not seek prior consent from those included and has never threatened individuals directly.
