　　Rupert Hoogewerf, chairman and chief researcher of the institute, said that "these people might not succeed in accordance with current social standards; however, they made it and created great enterprises, which taught me that a hero may rise from nowhere."

　　胡润主席、首席研究员鲁珀特·胡润表示：“按当前的社会标准，这些人可能不会成功；但是他们却做到了，并创造了伟大的企业，这告诉我们英雄不问出处。”

　　The report listed the top 100 heroes, with Zong Qinghou, chairman of Wahaha Group, one of China's biggest beverage¹ producers, ranking first.
