Rewriting (2) with an Absolute Phrase:

The mainland had more than one million high net-worth individuals by the end of last year, the number being double the total for 2010.

Absolute Phrases which modify the entire sentence, adding information, like appositives, are always treated as parenthetical elements and are set off from the rest of the sentence with a comma.

2015-05-28 21:30:25 補充：
1. adjunct functions as 狀語 (adverbial)

2. thanks (noun) + to (preposition) = set phrase functions as preposition

3. double (determiner) 不是動詞
~ determiners introduce a noun phrase

4. absolute clause
format: subject (noun or pronoun) + participle + other modifiers if any
