Gome Chairman Huang Guangyu poses by his group's logo, in his office in Beijing, China, on January 20, 2006. Huang Guangyu in Mandarin Chinese, or Wong Kwong Yu in Cantonese Chinese, with a 2008 net worth of US$3.5 billion lost at least US$2.6 billion in 2009. The retailer's fortune came under suspicion in November when Chinese officials suspended trading of his Gome Electrical Appliances, one of China's largest electronic appliance chains. Huang (or Wong) resigned as chairman in January. The size of his fortune is murky right now. Photo by Servais Mont/Pictobank
