The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit since the 2020s has successfully destroyed many sectors. Many of them ended up falling into poverty because they had to bear huge losses due to their business not working as expected.
But in addition to many who fell, it turns out that there are also those who are successful and even increase their source of wealth. This global crisis seems to have no effect on their lives.
In fact, some reports say the world's richest people have gotten even richer since the pandemic. They are still a permanent member of the list of the richest people in the world.
Then, how can the world's billionaires amass a lot of wealth in 2021? Check it out here!
1. Food and Drink
Every day, we need to eat and drink to survive. Because of this, food and drink became one of the profitable fields of wealth.
Zhong Shanshan for example. He has a net worth of $68.9 billion for being chairman of bottled water company Nongfu Spring and controlling the publicly listed Beijing Wantai Biology.
It was from this sector that the wealth of a Zhong Shanshan continued to increase. The food and beverage sector alone has generated a total of 219 trillionaires or 8% of the entire list of the world's richest people.
2. Real Estate
Lee Shau Kee co-founded property developer Sun Hung Kai. He became one of the trillionaires in 2021 yesterday. Lee Shau Kee's net worth is $31.7 billion thanks to the real estate sector.
Now in the world itself since the last few years, the real estate sector is on the rise as well. So for those of you, who want to be rich, you can try a business in this sector.
3. Health
In addition to food and beverages, in this era of the Covid-19 pandemic, the health sector has also experienced a very rapid increase.
Jiang Rensheng and his family have a total wealth of up to $24.4 billion because of this health sector. He is the chairman of the Chongqing vaccine company ZFSW Biological Products, known as Zhifei.
Not only that, this company is also developing its own tuberculosis vaccine, too!
