A new study finds that 74 percent of the rich in South Korea with fortunes of one billion U.S. dollars or more were found to have inherited their wealth.
一项新的研究发现,在韩国,大约74%的、拥有十亿美元或更多的财富的富豪是通过继承得到的财富。
The study was produced by the Peterson Institute for International Economics after classifying the wealth of billionaires as either self-made or inherited. The study was compiled from Forbes World's Billionaires list over the past two decades.
这项研究结果是由彼得森国际经济学研究所在对无论是自己起家还是继承的亿万富翁进行分类后得出的。该项研究还分析了过去二十年的《福布斯》全球亿万富豪排行榜。
The institute found that the percentage of billionaires in South Korea who inherited their fortunes was the fifth largest in the world out of 67 countries and two-and-half times higher than the average rate of 30 percent.
该研究所发现,在世界上67个国家中,韩国通过继承成为亿万富翁的比例排在第五名,比这一数据的平均值30%要高出2.5倍。

The study found that the rate for China stood at a mere two percent, 18 percent for Japan and 29 percent for the U.S. In Asia, the rate of billionaires with inherited fortunes stood at 37 percent in Singapore.
该研究还发现,中国的继承型富豪占比仅为2%,日本为18.5%,美国为28.9%。在亚洲的其他地区,新加坡继承型富豪占比为37%,印度是34%。
As reasons for the high percentage of such billionaires in South Korea, experts cited an economic structure centered on conglomerates, an immature capital market and the trend of preferring stable jobs.
至于在韩国富豪中该比例如此之高的原因,专家们列举了一些。比如以企业集团为中心的经济结构、不成熟的资本市场,以及更倾向于稳定就业的趋势。
Meanwhile, the study said that the number of self-made billionaires is on the rise around the world. The percentage of self-made rich people grew from 45 percent posted in 1996 to 70 percent in 2014.
此外,该研究还指出,世界上通过白手起家的亿万富豪的数量正在呈上升的趋势。白手起家的亿万富豪的比例已从1996年的45%上升到2014年的70%。
