????阿里巴巴（Alibaba）規模龐大的首次公開募股，使孫正義成為了目前的日本首富。

????據彭博社（Bloomberg）的數據顯示，從上周初以來，軟銀（Softbank）股票上漲了16%，使孫正義的凈資產達到166億美元。

????孫正義創建的軟銀持有阿里巴巴集團34%的股份，此次，該網絡零售商可能創紀錄的IPO，使軟銀受益匪淺。阿里巴巴提高了之前的新股發行價格區間，計劃籌資218億美元。

????孫正義也一舉超越迅銷公司（Fast Retailing Co.）董事長柳井正，成為日本首富。柳井正的凈資產為162億美元。

????孫正義和柳井正均屬于日益增多的亞洲億萬富翁俱樂部成員。去年，亞洲億萬富翁創造財富的速度，遠遠超過世界其他地區。據《金融時報》（Financial Times）報道，全球億萬富翁去年整體財富增長了12%，其中有三分之一要歸功于亞洲的富豪。

????孫正義在亞太區億萬富豪排行榜上名列第九。阿里巴巴CEO馬云以219億美元名列第四，而其公司在周五上市之后，馬云的財富將繼續增長。

????目前，全球億萬富翁的財富值超過了道瓊斯工業平均指數（Dow Jones Industrial Average）中所有公司市值的總和。據研究機構Wealth-X調查，全世界4%的財富被億萬富翁們掌握著。

????而紐約是億萬富翁最多的城市（103人），香港（82人）和北京（37人）分別名列第三和第五位。東京甚至沒能進入前十名。（財富中文網）

????Masayoshi Son is now the richest man in Japan, thanks to Alibaba’s rocketing initial public offering.

????Son’s net worth jumped to $16.6 billion after Softbank’s shares gained 16% since the beginning of last week, according to Bloomberg data.

????Softbank, which was founded by Son, holds about 34% of Alibaba Group and has benefited from the e-retailer’s potentially record-breaking IPO. Alibaba plans to raise as much as $21.8 billion after raising the share price of its offering.

????Son surpassed Fast Retailing Co. Chairman Tadashi Yanai, who has a $16.2 billion fortune, to take the country’s top spot.

????Son and Yanai are part of a growing number of Asian billionaires, which have created wealth at a much higher rate than any other area of the world over the past year. Of the 12% growth in billionaire wealth, a third is attributed to Asia’s wealthiest, reported the Financial Times.

????In the Asia Pacific region, Son moved up to become the ninth wealthiest billionaire. Alibaba CEO Jack Ma holds the No. 4 spot in the region with a $21.9 billion fortune, though that could grow after the company goes public on Friday.

????Global billionaire wealth is now worth more than the combined market value of all companies within the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Billionaires hold about 4% of global wealth, according to a survey by Wealth-X.

????While New York has the most billionaires (103), Hong Kong (82) and Beijing (37) follow in the third and fifth spots, respectively. Tokyo didn’t even crack the top ten.
