6. Zhong Shanshan — $93.4 Billion

The 66 year old Chinese national dropped out of school when he was only 12 years old. Shanshan grew up in a wealthy family and with his family’s support created Nongfu Spring, a company that promised natural water with minerals in a bottle.

Famous quote: “Twenty years ago, people drank packaged water because they were thirsty. Now, they drink it to wash down the bubbly or sour wine. Wherever there is wine, there should be (packaged drinking) water.”
