China rich list topped by construction magnate

A former weapons plant manager has topped an annual list of China's richest people.

Liang Wengen, 55, chairman of construction firm Sany was at the summit of the Hurun Rich List, with a doubling of the company's share price sending his fortune to $11bn (£7bn).

The number of US-dollar billionaires increased to 271 this year, up from 189 in 2010.
