This chick is worth $16 billion & she's only 26... Would you hit it?
She's not nearly as hot as a sexy AZN chick I know named Liz, but I think I would have to hit it!
She's the one on the top left.
A 26-year-old woman worth $16.2 billion is the Chinese mainland's richest person, topping a list of tycoons whose wealth has soared amid a boom in stock and property prices, the business magazine Forbes said yesterday.
The fortune of Yang Huiyan - also Asia's richest woman - is based on shares in Country Garden Holdings Ltd, a real estate developer founded by her father, Forbes said. It said the company's Hong Kong stock market debut this year made billionaires of Yang and four other people.
Yang, who graduated from Ohio State University, was one of 12 real estate developers among the top 40, Forbes said.
All 40 were billionaires, up from only 15 last year, the magazine said. The combined net worth of the top 40 also rose sharply, from $38 billion in 2006 to $120 billion this year.

Yang's father, Yeung Kwok-keung, also known as Yang Guoqiang, grew up in poverty in Guangdong Province and worked as a bricklayer before becoming a developer in the early 1990s.
In 2005, the press-shy Yeung transferred his shares to his daughter, who sits on Country Garden's board as an executive director and works in its logistics activities, according to Forbes.
Forbes said earlier that Country Garden's April IPO was likely to make Yang the world's second-youngest billionaire, behind Germany's Prince Albert von Thurn und Taxis.
And just in case any of you ladies were wondering what Prince Albert Von Eurobillionaire looks like, here ya go:
I'm not the best judge of a man's looks but something tells me that even though he's rich, a lot of you would rather marry a good looking guy who owns a $90k a year plumbing business than him.
