Chen Lihua: the richest female in the mainland
Chen Lihua and her husband "Tang Monk" Chi Chong Rui seems to be a bit unknown.
However, she is a well-known figure in the business world and has been on the rich list many times.
In 2020, with a net worth of 53 billion yuan, Chen Laihua ranked 6th on the Hurun Global Self-Made Rich List.
Some netizens once said jokingly: "Beijing, Jinbao Street, which starts from Jinyu Hutong in the west and ends at Jianguomen in the east, was contracted by her."
How did Chen Lihua manage to counterattack China's richest woman from a working girl?
Chen Lihua, who was born in the Summer Palace in 1941, is said to be a descendant of the Yehenala family and an authentic descendant of the royal family.
But when she was born, the glory of the royal family had long gone. At that time, having enough food was her greatest happiness.
When Chen Lihua was in high school, she had to drop out of school due to family poverty and work in a sewing club.
But soon, she was forced to lose her job due to the restructuring of the sewing club.
After she lost her job, Chen Lihua never went to work for others. Instead, she opened a sewing shop.
Chen Lihua is very generous and loyal, so she is very popular, which laid a good foundation for her future career success.
Following the sewing shop, she soon opened a furniture repair shop.
Chen Lihua is honest and very skilled in craftsmanship, so her two stores are doing very well.
But if she only relies on these, she may never be the richest man in her life.
An experience of reselling "furniture" was the beginning of Chen Lihua's journey to become a rich woman.
At that time, Chen Lihua, who had excellent connections, received news: a furniture factory in Beijing had many antiques from the Ming and Qing Dynasties left behind by the "broken four olds", all of which were "unowned".
Growing up in the Summer Palace, Chen Lihua had a good eye for things. She immediately realized that those things must be priceless.
Therefore, she bought some of them at a low price through connections. After
changed hands, Chen Lihua not only reaped the first pot of gold in her life, but also completed the initial accumulation of capital.
In the 1980s, she was keenly aware of the broad prospects of real estate and began to enter the real estate industry.
She first boldly bought many high-quality plots of land in Hong Kong when China and Britain were negotiating between Hong Kong and Hong Kong's future was uncertain.
After Hong Kong's economy recovered, she sold it at a high price and gained a second pot of gold. After
, she used similar methods to get her third pot of gold in Belgium.
Since then, Chen Lihua has completed a gorgeous transformation from a working girl to a self-made rich woman.
In the early 1990s, she began to move to the mainland. With her identity as a Hong Kong businessman and nearly four years of hard work and waiting, Chen Laiwa obtained a piece of land near Tiananmen Square for the construction of Chang'an Tower.
Shortly after the completion of Chang'an Building, she won the Jinbao Street renovation project.
Chen Laihua invested nearly 4 billion in this project and spent nearly 10 years. However, huge efforts also mean huge rewards.
Nowadays, Chen Laihua can easily earn 1 billion yuan per year just from rent.
Wang Jinghua: The No. 1 Agent in Domestic Entertainment
Although Wang Jinghua is now known as the "No. 1 Agent in Domestic Entertainment", in fact, she did not expect to become an agent at first.
Wang Jinghua, who graduated from the Chinese Academy of Opera, had no roles to film, so she went to Su Yue's company to work as a singer manager on the introduction of a friend. After
entered the industry, she quickly became popular with the Chu Qi Chu Tong group and became famous.After
became famous, more and more artists began to seek her as their manager, and she successively made celebrities such as Dai Rao and Gao Feng popular.
In 1993, Wang Jinghua met the most important person in her life-Chen Daoming.
At that time, she was fortunate enough to become Chen Daoming's assistant.
Chen Daoming, who has artistic pursuits, not only has strict requirements for himself, but also for his assistants.
In the early days, Wang Jinghua was often scolded by him, but she never complained, but worked hard to do her job well.
Soon, she won Chen Daoming's appreciation and trust with her professionalism and strength.
Chen Daoming knew that Wang Jinghua could go further with her abilities, so he suggested that she change her career to a film and television agent.
After careful consideration, Wang Jinghua decided to follow Chen Daoming's suggestion.
Soon, she founded a brokerage company and signed Chen Daoming to her company. After
, Wang Jinghua successively signed Li Bingbing, Hu Jun and other stars.
As they become more popular, Wang Jinghua's agency is getting bigger and bigger, and her own fame is getting better and better day by day.
In 2000, Wang Jinghua ushered in the second leap in her career.
Because Wang Jinghua has unique wisdom and vision in getting along with and cultivating artists, Huayi Brothers invited her to establish a Huayi Brothers brokerage company by offering her 50% of the company's shares. After the powerful alliance of
, Huayi quickly developed from a little-known small company to a leader in the film and television industry in those few years.
In those years, the most popular stars in the industry were all from Huayi.
However, as the contract with Huayi expired, Wang Jinghua decided to leave despite Huayi's popularity at the time.
Along with Wang Jinghua, a large number of artists also left.
Soon, they all joined Chengtian Entertainment.
Although Wang Jinghua only holds 20% of the shares in Chengtian Entertainment, she has become the "big boss" because she is so capable and well-known, and many of the artists she brought over are currently popular or have always been famous. seems to exist.
This of course caused dissatisfaction among the major shareholders of Chengtian Entertainment, so three years later, Wang Jinghua left again.
However, this time she did not choose to be inferior to others, but once again established her own agency - Shiba Culture.
This time, there are still many artists following her.
Wang Jinghua has dominated the entertainment industry for many years and has already accumulated wealth.
Now, although she has retreated behind the scenes, she is still a legend in the world.
Hong Huang: A strong woman who lives her own life
Just looking at her dress, it is estimated that it is difficult for anyone to associate money with Hong Huang.
Because this female boss, known as China's "Fashion Devil" and the leader of Chinese fashion magazines, does not wear famous brands, jewelry, or even makeup.
However, if she did not have enough confidence and strength, she would not dare to "tear apart" domestic entertainment and upper class society. She is famous for her "truth" and "dare".
Use one word to describe Hong Huang's family background, that is "famous family".
Grandfather Zhang Shizhao is a famous scholar and scholar. His mother Zhang Hanzhi is a foreign language teacher who is a famous diplomat. His biological father is an economics professor at Peking University. His stepfather is former Foreign Minister Qiao Guanhua.
Therefore, Hong Huang has never been short of money since he was a child.
But this does not mean that she is not capable. Her wealth comes from her family.
On the contrary, she is very strong, and she has gained a lot of wealth on her own.
When he was in elementary school, Hong Huang was sent abroad to study by the government because of his excellent grades, becoming one of the first batch of students sent abroad by the government after the founding of the People's Republic of China. When
graduated from middle school, she became an English announcer with her good English skills.
However, within two years, she was tired of what others considered a decent and stable job. She soon entered the famous girls' school - Vassar College in the United States with excellent results and went to study in the United States.
After graduating from college, she did not become a diplomat as her mother wanted, but chose to work for a foreign trade company in the United States.
When he was working in a foreign trade company, 25-year-old Hong Huang's annual salary reached US$70,000. At that time, the average monthly income of most urban residents in China was only 70 yuan.
However, this kind of high-end white-collar life with money and leisure does not seem to be what she is pursuing.
In 1996, Hong Huang decided to give up her high-tech career in foreign companies and return to China to start a business. At that time, her annual salary had reached US$180,000.
Having lived abroad for many years, she liked the fashion industry very much, so she decided to return to China and start her own fashion magazine.
At that time, fashion media in China was still in its infancy, and only the upper class in China could read foreign magazines.
Hong Huang's plan to start a Chinese magazine is tantamount to cultivating and planting flowers in an overgrown wasteland.
At that time, one of her friends once said: "If you want to bankrupt someone, let him contribute to a movie; if you want to embarrass others, let him submit to a magazine."
However, even if the process was very difficult, Hong Huang worked hard. From the cover to the content, she puts her best foot forward. What
didn’t expect was that the three magazines she founded were sold out as soon as they were launched. The success of
magazine not only established Hong Huang's status as China's "fashion godmother" in one fell swoop, but also made her a huge profit. In 2000, she became the CEO of China Interactive Media Group.
Hong Huang, now 63 years old, is still the editor-in-chief and publisher of "World Urban ilook" magazine. She has also accumulated huge wealth after working hard in the fashion industry for so many years.
However, maybe she doesn't care.
Song Dandan: The invisible rich woman in Beijing
Known as the "No. 1 Princess in Beijing", Song Dandan's family background has been very good since she was a child. Her father and brother both work in government departments, and their positions are not low.
However, Song Dandan had no interest in politics. After graduating from university, she chose to stay at the Beijing People's Art Theater and became an actress.
People with ability and talent will shine like diamonds whenever they have the opportunity.
After entering the industry for more than a year, Song Dandan starred in the drama "Weddings and Whites" and immediately won the first prize of the Ministry of Culture's Performance Observation Award and the Beijing Municipal Government's Outstanding Actor Award. After
, she won awards whenever she filmed, as if those awards were specially set up for her.
Of course, as the number of awards increased, Song Dandan’s salary skyrocketed along with her fame.
Zhang Guoli once publicly complained that Song Dandan's salary was too high, so he had to use friendship to lower the price.
Some actors said that because Song Dandan's salary was too high, their long-awaited wish to film a movie with Song Dandan could not be realized.
In addition to the awards in the entertainment industry that have kept Song Dandan's salary rising, her success in the sketch industry is also another important reason for her soaring net worth.
According to media reports, Song Dandan participated in the Spring Festival Gala for the last time and was paid only 2,000 yuan.
But by 2006, according to exposed news, the appearance fees of Song Dandan and Zhao Benshan had soared to 500,000 yuan.
Therefore, there is no doubt that Song Dandan, who has worked hard in the entertainment industry for decades, has definitely accumulated huge wealth and is a truly rich woman.
It's just that Song Dandan's usual dress is not outstanding, she looks very plain and simple, and she doesn't seem to have anything to do with a rich woman.
However, many years ago, Song Dandan lived in No. 7 Diaoyutai Courtyard in Beijing. The price of this mansion was nearly 100 million, and I don’t know how many times it has increased by now.
And she also likes bags very much. It is said that she owns countless big-name bags. Some netizens once saw her buying three luxury bags in a shopping mall.
In addition to luxury homes and luxury bags, it is said that Song Dandan also owns many million-dollar luxury cars.
It seems that she is usually too low-key.
Now, although Song Dandan has retired, her salary is still quite high.
Zhu Zhu: A rich woman who was born in Rome
As an actress born in the 1980s, Zhu Zhu’s reputation is very average.
In recent years, although her career has made some breakthroughs, it has not become a hit, and most of her roles are supporting roles.
Her husband Wang Yunjia is also an outsider, not from a wealthy family.
However, Zhu Zhu, who has an average career and an average husband, has a very luxurious daily life.
According to legend, she was the first female star to spend hundreds of thousands of Hermès on green onions.
At the same time, her residence in Beijing seems to be very ordinary and not large in area, but the paintings by artist Tracy Emin on the walls alone cost over a million dollars, and the Qing Dynasty "Tiger" carpet on the floor is even more valuable.
In fact, in addition to what she earned in the entertainment industry, Zhu Zhu’s wealth also comes from her family.
If Song Dandan’s family background is strong, then Zhu Zhu’s family background is even more prominent.
Zhu Zhu's grandfather was the founding major general of the People's Republic of China, and her father was the founder of the New World Group, so she was not short of money since she was a child.
However, Zhu Zhu, who was born in "Rome", did not "lie down".
htmlWhen she was 03 years old, she began to study piano under the tutelage of jazz pianist Kong Hongwei. When she was in elementary school, she participated in various training classes such as Mathematical Olympiad and English.At the same time, she is also interested in art and has participated in various art activities many times. While engaging in art, Zhu Zhu did not fall behind in her studies, and her grades have always been very good.
When she graduated from high school, although Zhu Zhu's grades had reached the admission standards of many prestigious schools, she enrolled in Beijing Technology and Business University because she was not interested in studying abroad.
In 2005, when she visited the United States, she was admitted to the Perkins School of Design.
However, Zhu Zhu gave up the opportunity to study at the Perkins School of Design and instead chose to become a host at MTV.
While working at MTV, she also met "music talent" Li Quan and started a relationship.
But because Li Quan failed to handle the relationship with his ex-girlfriend Ke Lan, the relationship eventually ended in a breakup. Soon after
broke up with Li Quan, Zhu Zhu decided to develop in the film and television industry and signed a contract with the prestigious American entertainment company c a a.
However, the development of her career did not go as smoothly as she imagined. After working hard for nearly two years, she is still unknown in the foreign film and television industry.
It was not until 2012 that Zhu Zhu's relationship with "Ferrari Prince" Rapo Elkann made her famous at home and abroad.
However, this relationship only lasted 5 months.
Some people laughed at Zhu Zhu because his dream of becoming a wealthy family was broken, but Zhu Zhu responded domineeringly. Judging from her family background, Zhu Zhu does have such confidence.
In 2021, Zhu Zhu, who had gone through several relationships, finally gained his own relationship.
Now she has her own children and family, and lives a happy life.
Zhang Lan: The rich woman who never admits defeat
If it weren’t for the bloody gossip between Wang Xiaofei and Big S, many people might not know Zhang Lan.
But in fact, she was one of the first female entrepreneurs in China. At her peak, she was worth 2.5 billion.
Zhang Lan divorced her husband when Wang Xiaofei was 6 years old; when Wang Xiaofei was 8 years old, she decided to work in Canada in order to improve her family's financial situation.
In Canada, Zhang Lan had to work six different jobs at the same time during the hardest time. What supported her was one belief: to let her family live a good life.
In 1991, Zhang Lan was already 33 years old when she returned to China to start a business with the US$20,000 she earned from part-time work.
At that time, going to a restaurant to eat was still a luxury and fashionable thing. Zhang Lan saw the gap in this market and established "Alan Restaurant".
When she was in Canada, Zhang Lan worked in a local restaurant, so she was very familiar with the restaurant's business model.
Under her leadership, Alan Restaurant has developed into three restaurants in just 8 years.
By April 2000, Zhang Lan had accumulated 6 million yuan in funds and completed the accumulation of capital.
But she was not satisfied with this. Soon she sold all three restaurants and used all the money to establish "Beautiful Jiangnan".
incorporated the Chinese style "Beauty Jiangnan". After its establishment, it was deeply loved by consumers and achieved profitability that year.
In 2007, "Beautiful Jiangnan"'s sales reached about 1 billion yuan in just one year.
Two years later, Zhang Lan ranked third on the Hurun Catering Rich List for the first time, with a wealth valuation of 2.5 billion yuan.
However, Zhang Lan lost "Beautiful Jiangnan" after a short period of time.
In 2011, "Beauty Jiangnan" once again hit the A-share market and suffered setbacks, so Zhang Lan signed a gambling agreement with CDH Investment Company.
According to the agreement, CDH Investment Company bought the shares of "South Beauty" with 200 million, on the condition that Zhang Lan must list the operation of "South Beauty" within three years.
However, in the end, Zhang Lan failed.
Not only did she fail to fulfill her promise, she also did not have enough funds to compensate CDH Investment Company.
In the end, not only did she lose her position as chairman of "Beautiful Jiangnan", but all her funds were frozen by the bank.
However, this woman who has experienced many storms is not discouraged.
In 2020, she and her son founded the brand "Ma Liuji", and also relied on the popularity of Wang Xiaofei and Big S to gain popularity.
It is said that she once sold 100 million in one week through her live broadcast.
Today, Zhang Lan's business is getting better and better, and she has already returned to the ranks of rich women.
writes at the end:
It can be seen from the experiences of these six wealthy women in Beijing that although they accumulate wealth in different ways and channels, each of them has a different starting point and background.
But the same thing is that they are not reconciled to the status quo, they are very diligent and hardworking, and they dare to face difficulties.
These excellent qualities make them stand out step by step and become enviable rich women.
Their stories also inspire us. As long as we have dreams and work unremittingly, we will be able to create a wonderful life of our own.
