The Hurun Research Institute unveiled on Thursday, the 2019 LEXUS·Hurun China Rich List, a ranking of the richest individuals in China. The wealth calculations are a snapshot of Aug 15.

However, the number of people on the list continued to shrink for two consecutive years, with nearly 40 percent of entrepreneurs dropping out of the list since last year. It is "the biggest drop since records began 21 years ago," Rupert Hoogewerf, chairman and chief researcher of Hurun Report, said.

On the other hand, 19 people on this year's list saw their fortune exceed 100 billion yuan, the biggest jump.

The threshold for the top 50 richest Chinese people rose by 10 billion to 51 billion yuan. The average fortune of the richest individuals increased to 9.8 billion, while the richest Chinese 15 years ago had only 10 billion yuan.

Let's take a look at the top 10 richest Chinese.
