Chinese-American billionaires represent a unique fusion of wealth and influence, linking the world’s two largest economies. Many have made their fortunes in technology, finance or real estate, often using their dual cultural understanding to grasp lucrative business opportunities in both markets.

Here’s how the net worths of the richest Chinese-American billionaires stack up, according to Forbes.
