On June 21, 1996, Forbes magazine published the annual list of the world's billionaires, summarizing the income of the super-rich on the 1996 global rich list.

With the release of the list, it has naturally attracted widespread attention, and naturally, because the Internet has just risen in today's era, it is not as lively as later generations, but it is inevitable to cause a burst of excitement within a certain range.

Since the first launch of the Global Rich List in 82, it has caused a huge repercussion around the world, after all, wealth is always fascinating, especially in the Western world.

It is said that Forbes compiles more than 100 lists of people, wealth, companies, and lifestyles every year, but the list that has great influence on the world is naturally the first to be the richest list.

Naturally, there is also a list in the United States that is also quite weighty, and it is still a rich list, that is, a list of the richest people in the United States, called the 'Forbes 400' rich list.

After all, most of the world's super-rich in the early days were concentrated in the United States, especially those on the list, and naturally, this nationwide list of the richest people in the United States has a huge influence within the scope of the United States, but the Forbes 400 list is generally announced in September.

In the view of Li Feng in later generations, among the major lists announced every year, two magazines must be the most influential, one is Forbes, and the other is Fortune magazine, among which Forbes's rich list and Fortune 500 are definitely the most interesting lists.

……

It's a pity that Fortune magazine belongs to Time Warner, and Li Feng also knows that it is impossible to get it, otherwise Li Feng will definitely make Barry pay attention and even propose to buy it, but in addition to Fortune magazine, Business Week, which is known as one of the three major business magazines in the United States, also has a little eyebrow.

In addition to Fortune and Forbes' huge imagination, there is another magazine that is not inferior to the two, and that is Business Week.

Originally, Li Feng didn't know, but when Li Feng proposed to buy Forbes, Barry said why it wasn't Business Week, and it wasn't until Barry gave Li Feng a literacy that Li Feng knew that Business Week's circulation was larger than Forbes.

In the United States, in terms of influence, Forbes magazine's reputation today is slightly inferior to that of Fortune and Businessweek, which are the main competitors.

Naturally, judging from the global influence of later generations, it seems that the reputation of Business Week is still as big as Forbes, but in fact, this is only in China, who makes the Forbes wealth list too famous, so that everyone in China knows.

Ordinary people in China who will pay attention to a business magazine in the United States, unless they are professionals, which is why ordinary people in China only ask about wealth and Forbes in later generations.

Li Feng mentioned before that if the media group wants to acquire paper media, it will mainly focus on business and fashion magazines and publications.

If Business Week was also acquired by Li Feng, plus the new magazine that Barry invested in before, it would be the top business magazine in the United States in the future, Fast Company, and the four most important business magazines in the United States at that time, in addition to wealth, would be in the bag.

Li Feng is still looking forward to this, and Li Feng couldn't be more satisfied with the management of the media group led by Barry.

……

With the announcement of the Forbes rich list, in addition to Gates being the richest man again, there have been a lot of reports on Li Feng's sudden rise, and even good people and various gossip tabloids called Li Feng 'the richest man in Hollywood'.

There is no way, although Li Feng's various wealth rumors have been reported before, although they all know that Li Feng's wealth is amazing now, now Forbes has liquidated Li Feng, and also let the outside world know Li Feng's 'real' wealth and net worth, plus Li Feng is only 16 years old, the result can be imagined.

16-year-old Li Feng's net worth is more than 5 billion US dollars, so in another 10 years, how much can people reach when they are 26 years old, and what about 20 or 30 years later, thinking of all possible things makes reporters from all walks of life excited, and it is too news-selling.

And Li Feng is a real self-made man and an orphan, which is a typical representative of the 'American dream', and there is something more exciting than this.

As a result, almost all the media in the United States are now reporting, whether it is national media such as Time Magazine, USA Today, gossip tabloids, or even a large number of TV networks, Li Feng has also reported a lot, compared with the previous series of company reports and so on, it is much more dense.

Now it is the people of the United States who really know Li Feng, which is the charm of the Forbes wealth list.

Naturally, with the spread of the rich list around the world, Li Feng has also accumulated a lot of pseudo-fans around the world, although it is estimated that even if Li Feng stands in front of others, these 'fans' may not know Li Feng, but after all, they have heard of Li Feng's wealth deeds.

……

All kinds of interview invitations came again, all kinds of financial circles, entertainment circles, etc., but Li Feng declined politely, naturally, Li Feng did not take over the interview, which led to more interview invitations from Li Feng, which made Li Feng speechless for a while.

In fact, many people are holding on to chance, thinking that if their invitation is accepted, this is Li Feng's first official interview, if he can get such an opportunity, it will immediately be famous in the United States.

In the end, even Time magazine sent an interview invitation, but Li Feng still refused, and then even Barry Diler couldn't help but find it in person, saying that he wanted Li Feng to accept an interview with his magazine and TV station, after all, fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Li Feng finally refused, even if it was his own, but promised that the first interview in the future would be given to him, so he finished dealing with Barry.

Li Feng really doesn't want to be interviewed, of course, if it is 10 or 20 years later, it is estimated that his photos have been spread all over the world through various channels, but now in 96 years, Li Feng still wants to be quiet for a few more years.

In Li Feng's vision, while the current information dissemination is still relatively primitive, he has been stable for a few years, and when the information in the future is flooded, he will not be able to be stable if he wants to be stable, after all, people like Bill Gates in later generations will be under the attention of others in every move.

……

Naturally, with the spread of media reports, Li Feng's phone naturally rang non-stop, except for his own woman, the rest of the CEOs of major companies called to congratulate, and at the same time, friends and partners who had been in contact with each other came one after another, which made Li Feng annoyed.

No, just hung up Yang Zhiyuan's phone, Li Feng had no choice but to turn off his private phone.

Thinking about the small talk with Yang Zhiyuan on the phone before, it was funny for a while, and now Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro have also entered the list, Yang Zhiyuan's ranking is not bad, but David's is relatively low, and it is almost the end.

Thanks to Li Feng's advance layout, whether it is Yang Zhiyuan or David Ferro's Yahoo shares, there are actually more than Yahoo in the previous life, and today's Yahoo is indeed not inferior to the market value of the previous life a year later, resulting in Yang Zhiyuan entering the list one year ahead of schedule, but Yang Zhiyuan in the previous life entered the wealth list for the first time in 97.

In this regard, Li Feng can only feel that our little butterfly can't have any other influence, but it can still have enough influence related to his career.

Li Feng didn't know, because his biggest influence was that he had become a super-rich, naturally, Li Feng also believed that with the continuous expansion and accumulation of his wealth and career in the future, the wind caused by the small wings of the little butterfly must be getting bigger and bigger.
