London has more billionaires -- measured in pounds sterling -- than any other city in the world, according to The Sunday Times newspaper's Rich List 2016.
英国《星期日泰晤士报》近日公布的2016年富豪榜显示,以英镑计算,伦敦是全球亿万富翁最多的城市。
Some of the richest tycoons in Britain have lost vast chunks of their fortunes because of a retail slump, sinking oil prices and the steel industry crisis, the paper said.
该报称,零售市场低迷、油价下跌以及钢铁业危机导致英国一些最富有的大亨的财富大幅缩水。
Nevertheless, the overall fortune of the 1,000 wealthiest people in Britain was higher this year -- and the country boasts 120 sterling billionaires, a figure beaten only by the United States (378) and China (193), the paper said.
尽管如此,英国伦敦1000名最富裕者的总资产仍比去年有所增加。该报道指出,英国的亿万英镑富翁共有120位,这一数字仅次于美国的378位和中国的193位。
And it said there were more sterling billionaires in London (77) than any other city, ahead of New York (61), San Francisco (57) and Hong Kong (49).
报道指出,伦敦共有77位亿万富翁,其次为纽约的61位、旧金山的57为和香港的49位。
Publicity-shy brothers David and Simon Reuben topped the list this year, with a fortune of 13.1 billion pounds, up 3.4 billion pounds on last year.
爱抛头露面的戴维·鲁本和西蒙·鲁本兄弟今年荣登榜首,拥有财产总值131亿英镑,比去年多34亿英镑。
The Reubens, born in Mumbai to an Iraqi Jewish family, own London property and data centre operator Global Switch. They are just ahead of the industrialist brothers Sri and Gopi Hinduja with 13 billion pounds, a figure unchanged from last year, and investor Len Blavatnik with 11.6 billion pounds, down 1.6 billion pounds.
鲁本兄弟初上在孟买的一个伊拉克犹太家庭,拥有伦敦房地产及数据中心Global Switch。排在第二位的是辛杜佳兄弟,这对兄弟的财产总值为130亿英镑,相比去年没有发生变化。投资人莱恩·布拉瓦特尼克的财产总值为116亿英镑,相比去年减少了16亿英镑。

Queen Elizabeth II, who turned 90 on Thursday, is the 319th richest person in her kingdom, with a wealth of 340 million pounds. The list does not count the 11.5 billion pounds Crown Estate property portfolio or the 10 billion pounds Royal Collection of art and jewellery as her personal wealth.
