Joseph Tsai
BIGGEST GAINER: A Canadian citizen based in Hong
Kong, Tsai saw his net worth soar 67% over the past year,
thanks to a jump in the shares of Chinese e-commerce giant SILICON VALLEY NORTH

Alibaba. The group’s cofounder and executive vice chair-
man reportedly agreed in October to buy 49% of the Brook-
lyn Nets basketball team from Russian billionaire Mikhail
Prokhorov. Forbes values the team at $2.3 billion. EDMONTON
