SHANGHAI (Reuters) - The fortunes of the richest 100 members of China's parliament and its advisory body - all dollar billionaires - grew about 64 percent in the four years since Xi Jinping rose to power, according to data from an organisation tracking wealth in China.

Xi has overseen a crackdown on corruption and decadence, and made the fight against poverty a top priority after becoming president in 2013.
