For the sixth year running, China had the most new billionaires, with 80; together they are worth $123 billion. The U.S. came in a distant second, with 44 newcomers, though their combined net worth surpasses China’s by about $27 billion. India added 12 new list members, worth $18.7 billion altogether.

When documentation isn’t supplied or available, we discount fortunes.
