methodology:
Valuing the wealth of China's Rich is as much an art as it is a science. Our team of researchers has - for the sixth year running - travelled the length and breadth of the country cross-checking information with entrepreneurs, industry experts, journalists, bankers, and regulators, as well as previous years’ databases. The cut-off date for valuation of listed companies was September 10. For non-listed companies we valued by comparing them with their listed equivalents using industry P/E ratios.
