谁是中国最有钱的商人？ 那时国内非常不支持李嘉诚把包括巴拿马港口在内的这个关乎全球贸易重要枢纽的资产交易给美国财团。 但是李嘉诚却依旧坚持出售的想法，一直在国内外斡旋谈判，为了减少政治阻力，甚至中途还传出了要更换出售对象。 去年也是二三月之间，李嘉诚不出手则已，一出手就是千亿的大买卖。 直接把自己旗下，不包括内地香港在内的43个港口全部出售，作价228亿美元，卖给了美国的财团贝莱德。 随即此消息传出后，被国内以国家安全的名义严厉抨击。 大多数中国人的第一印象，恐怕就是非李嘉诚莫属了。 2025年，福布斯把李嘉诚的身家评定为373亿美元，连续蝉联香港首富。 可是在不少人心中，认为福布斯远远低估了李嘉诚，一些人甚至认为李嘉诚背地里持有的资产破万亿，足以和现如今的世界首富埃隆.马斯克相抗衡。 这个说法到底是不是真的，除了李嘉诚，恐怕也没谁能够查证。 可是有一点毫无疑问，那就是李嘉诚的财富深不可测。 这一点在近期再次得到证实，据港交所最新公告显示，2026年2月26日，李嘉诚出售了自己持有的英国电网所有股份，一把就套现了1,100亿港币。 李嘉诚大举套现国外资产 十几年前，李嘉诚在国内房地产行业兴盛时期，果断大量抛售 ...
