Economic crisis eats off Forbes' 2009 billionaire list
NEW YORK, March 11 (Xinhua) -- The worst economic crisis in decades has taken its toll on billionaires, the richest people in the world. The number of such people has decreased and their wealth has shrunk by nearly half.
Forbes Magazine's 2009 list of the world's billionaires saw the total number of them drop to 793 from 1,125 in 2008, the first year-to-year decrease since 2003.
经济危机“吃”了09年《福布斯》上的亿万富翁
几十年来最严峻的经济危机给世界上最富有的人群——亿万富翁们，也带来了巨大的损失。亿万富翁也因此减少了许多，他们的财富甚至缩水近一半。
08年登上《福布斯》杂志的亿万富翁全世界有1，125人，但09年减少到只有793，这样逐年递减的现象自03年以来就没发生过。
