China's 100 Richest 2002
10.24.02, 6:30 PM ET



Our fourth annual list of China's 100 Richest includes 34 new names, led by Shanghai real estate developer Eddie Ye Lipei, who enters at a tie for sixth place.

There are 29 people remaining from our 2000 China 50 and a mere eight from our 1999 China 50. Personal wealth of at least $84 million was required to make the cut for this year's list, compared with $60 million last year, $42 million in 2000 and just $6 million in 1999.
