Chinese businessman Zhu Yicai has an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion in 2015 according to Forbes. He currently chairs China Yurun Group of Nanjing.

In 2012, Zhu Yicai net worth has significantly dropped due to the almost 50% drop on China Yurun Food shares. China Yurun Food specializes on processing meat. In July, he stepped down as the company's Chairman amidst issues on the company's accounting practices. However, the company still denied these rumors. On the other hand, some of his investments worked better which led his name to be included on this year's billionaire list. He owns 70% of Nanjing Central Emporium which showed impressive increase on its profit this year. In February 2013, the company announced its intentions of investing $350 million into two new malls.

Zhu Yicai is a graduate of Hefei Industrial University and China Europe International Business School. He is married and has two children.
