A 26-year-old woman worth $16.2 billion is mainland China's richest person, the business magazine Forbes said Monday, topping a list of tycoons whose wealth has soared amid a boom in stock and property prices.
The fortune of Yang Huiyan - also Asia's richest woman - is based on shares in Country Garden Holdings Ltd., a real estate developer founded by her father, Forbes said. It said the company's Hong Kong stock market debut this year made billionaires of Yang and four other people.
Yang Huiyan is a 2003 graduate of The Ohio State University. I graduated in 2002 from Ohio State and my net worth is well into the negative tens of thousands. ; )
