谁是中国最富的人？ Chinese always held complex feeling about wealth, especially in the ancient. Some were afraid to be rich, afraid to let others know they were rich. There was no Hurun report on who is the richest in China, things like that. Wall Street daily has gathered who were the richest in the past 1000 years, including six Chinese. They were Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, Liu Jin, Ho-Shen, Howqua,and T.V. Soong.(成吉思汗、忽必烈、劉瑾、和坤、伍秉鑒和宋子文)
No.1成吉思汗（Genghis Khan ）(1162-1227)
Occupation: Conqueror
Source of wealth: Looting
Assets: Almost five million square miles of land
Claim to fame: Lived to humiliate his enemies
If wealth were measured by lands conquered, Genghis Khan would rank as one of the wealthiest people ever. He began his career by uniting feuding Mongol tribes and then went on to seize almost five million square miles covering what is now China, Iran, Iraq, Burma, Vietnam, and most of Korea and Russia. Genghis Khan, whose name means "Universal Ruler," conquered as much for the sheer fun of it as for the spoils. He rode a horse and slept in a tent. "The greatest joy," he proclaimed, "is to conquer one's enemies, to pursue them, to seize their property, to see their families in tears, to ride their horses and to possess their daughters and wives."
他表示：“最大的快樂就是征服敵人，追趕敵人，搶占他們的財產，占有他們的戰馬和女人，看著他們妻離子散，家破人亡的淚水。” （好BT滴sa）
No.2忽必烈（Kublai Khan）(1215-1294)
Occupation: Conqueror and heir
Source of wealth: Inheritance
Assets: Gold and jewels
Claim to fame: Inspired Xanadu
Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, failed in military campaigns against Japan, Southeast Asia and Indonesia, but he established the Yuan dynasty in China and built a sumptuous court of gilded cane at Ta-tu (now Beijing). Marco Polo marveled at the jeweled splendor of Kublai Khan's summer palace, Shang-tu -- the inspiration for the "Xanadu" of English poet Coleridge's work. Polo was also amazed by the indulgent feasting and hunting, and by Kublai Khan's ships, which were large enough to carry 1,000 men and "made the passengers feel as if they were on dry land." Kublai Khan zealously promoted paper money, forcing its use under penalty of punishment and confiscating everyone else's gold and silver.
忽必烈，成吉思汗的孫子，在對抗日本，東南亞和印尼的軍事行動中失敗，但是他建立了中國的元朝，而且在Ta-tu（現在的北京）建造了奢華的鍍金宮廷。
