Chinese “Paris Hilton” Becomes World’s Youngest Female Billionaire

Posted by Bill Belew on May 6th, 2007 in All about China | No Comments

A 25-year old young lady from China is now the second youngest billionaire in the world and the youngest woman on Forbe's billionaire list.

Prince Albert von Thurn is the youngest person on the list.

Yang Huiyan's father's Country Garden Holdings debuted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

After raising about US$1.66 billion in the IPO, the Country Gardens became China's biggest real estate developer and the value soared to $15 billion.

The young lady did nothing to earn her wealth other than be born into the right family…obtain a degree in marketing and logistics from Ohio State University and join her father's business.

However, after joining the business…her father transferred his shares in the business to her. Voila!

Rich! Super rich! But hopefully not super stupid like another rich young socialite who will be spending 45 days in jail.

What would you do if you suddenly became worth $9 billion?

    If I had that kind of money, I arrange to get Paris broken out of the slammeer.
