Hurun Report on Tuesday released the Hurun Global Rich List 2017. Wealth calculations are a snapshot of 15 January 2017.

Beijing is the ‘Billionaire Capital of the World’ for the second year running, ahead of New York. Shenzhen adds 16 billionaires to propel itself into the 4th place, just behind Hong Kong.

What merits the attention is the "She" power on the list.

15% of the list are women. Of the 152 self-made women, Chinese led the way with 121, accounting for a staggering 79.6%, followed by 14 from the USA and 8 from the UK.

Hoogewerf said, “China is indisputably now the best place in the world to be a female entrepreneur.”
