So much for government meddling. China's efforts to put the brakes on the country's booming property market this year didn't stop the 26-year-old daughter of one of China's largest property developers from coming in on top in our annual survey of China's richest.
Yang Huiyan tops this year's list with a net worth of $16.2 billion, nearly seven times the $2.3 billion that retailer Wong Kwong Yu needed to rank No. 1 in 2006. Yang's father, the low-profile chairman of Country Gardens, turned over his shares to his daughter in 2005, and her wealth has soared with the company's stock price since the company went public in Hong Kong in April.
