#23 Li Ka-shing

The World's Most Powerful People

#23 Li Ka-shing

Chairman
Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited and Hutchison Whampoa Limited
Hong Kong
Age: 81

"Superman's" net worth down $10 billion in past year as Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa stock tumbled. Upside, still world's largest operator of container terminals, major health and beauty retailer, supplier of electricity to Hong Kong and lucrative real estate developer. Generous: calls philanthropy "third son," plans to give one-third of wealth to charity. Athletic too: plays golf every day; reportedly sank his 15th hole-in-one in September.
