Forbes unveils 50 richest self-made women of 2025: China and Hong Kong lead, US follows, tech dominates
Forbes has released its landmark 2025 ranking of the world's 50 richest self-made women, revealing a striking global trend: China and Hong Kong together account for 18 of the 50 women on the list—the highest representation by any region. The United States is the second-highest, with 16 women featured, reflecting both regions' deep-rooted entrepreneurial cultures and global influence. This elite group, spanning 13 countries and four continents, collectively holds approximately $276 billion in wealth, with an average net worth of $5.5 billion. The minimum net worth to make the list is $2.1 billion. Their fortunes cover 14 different industries, with technology standing out as the most dominant sector. Retail, real estate, and manufacturing also feature prominently. 'Self-made women now constitute 3.5% of all billionaires—a modest figure, but about 50% higher than in 2017,' Forbes notes, highlighting both progress and the persistent gender wealth gap . Meet the top 5 Rafaela Aponte-Diamant leads the list, having co-founded the Mediterranean Shipping Company, now the world's largest shipping line with over 136,000 employees and 900 vessels. She started with a $200,000 loan and remains active at age 80, overseeing ship interiors and serving on the MSC Foundation board. Diane Hendricks is the wealthiest American, co-founding ABC Supply, a giant in roofing and siding distribution. Zhong Huijuan is China's richest self-made woman, having built Hansoh Pharmaceuticals into a $1.7 billion revenue powerhouse, focusing on oncology and autoimmune treatments. Zhou Qunfei is the world's richest self-made woman in tech, running Lens Technology, a key supplier for Apple, Samsung , and Tesla. Melanie Perkins, at 38, is the youngest, having co-founded Canva, the design software sensation. Technology leads the way Among the 50 richest self-made women, technology is the leading sector, with 14 women generating their fortunes in this field. Notably, Zhou Qunfei of Hong Kong, valued at approximately $10 billion, heads Hunan-based Lens Technology, a major supplier of touch screens to global giants like Apple, Samsung, and Tesla. The tech sector's dominance is further underscored by the presence of several founders and executives in software, IT, and electronics manufacturing, reflecting the transformative impact of technology on global wealth creation for women. The gender wealth gap Despite the increasing number of women entering entrepreneurship and achieving billionaire status, a significant disparity persists between men and women at the top. The 50 richest self-made men globally are collectively worth $3.8 trillion—14 times greater than the combined wealth of the 50 wealthiest women. Furthermore, men control 96% of the world's self-made billionaire wealth, with women holding just 4%. There are 1,920 male self-made billionaires worldwide, compared to a much smaller number of women, underscoring the ongoing challenges to gender parity in global wealth.
