About Hurun Report Inc.
Nobody Knows China’s Rich Better!
Established in 1999 by British accountant Rupert Hoogewerf, Hurun Report Inc. has grown into a leading research platform based in Shanghai and Mumbai, best-known for its China and India rich lists, and with 150 employees today. Hurun Report Inc. has four main divisions.
Hurun Research Institute ‘World’s Largest Rich List Provider’
2019 marks the 20th anniversary of Hurun Report, highlighting the fastest wealth creating period in the history of the world.
The Hurun Richest Self-Made Women in the World has been highlighting for over ten years the fact that over 70% of the world’s most successful women in business herald from China, ie Chinese are completely dominant in the world of women in business. This has changed the way the world looks at Chinese women in business.
The Hurun China Philanthropy List ranks the most generous individuals in China and is now in its 15th anniversary. With no inheritance tax, Chinese give much more generously than many have previously understood.
Two recent lists with an impact include the Hurun China Unicorn Index, ranking the most dynamic businesses with a valuation of US$1bn or more in China; and the Hurun Most Successful University Alumni.
In India, Hurun Research has launched the Hurun India Rich List for the seventh time last year, and has an active events business there.
‘World Authority on the Chinese High Net Worth Individual’
Recent research partners include financial institutions (PingAn, Bank of China, Taikang Life, Minsheng, Citic), local government (Shanghai, Changbaishan) and Global 500 multinationals (Marriott, Country Garden, Agile, Audi, Volvo).
Three breakthrough lists this past year: Hurun Good Doctors’ List, a ranking of the 9500 most respected doctors in China, broken down by region and speciality; Hurun Best International Schools List; and Hurun Creative Works Intellectual Property List, in Search of the Harry Potter of China, ranking those online novels with the most valuable IPs.
The Hurun Art List ranks the top artists alive today in China for the 12th year and has become a household name amongst artists.
Media and Events ‘The Hurun brand gets 200 million views a month in China’
The Hurun brand has become one of the few non-Chinese media brands to become a household name across China.
Hurun Media monetizes 1 million views a month in China, through its wechat, weibo, website and legacy magazine.
Recent themed events include blockchain, fintech and 30 under 30, with industry-respected awards. We deliver 100+ events a year in China, with 200 entrepreneurs from the Hurun China Rich List attending.
Hurun Report kicked off the world's largest Chinese New Year dinner series in Shanghai on January 16, and is going to 8 cities across 4 continents. Toronto on Jan 20, New York Jan 23, LA Jan 25, London Jan 28, Istanbul Jan 29, Luxembourg Jan 31 and ending up in Sydney on Feb 18. Hurun Report’s mission is to create the world's largest platform of China gatekeepers.
Investments
