Yang Huiyan, vice-chairwoman of Country Garden, is the richest Chinese woman for the sixth consecutive year, according to Hurun Richest Women in China 2018 released on Oct 16.

With 150 billion yuan ($21.7 billion) in wealth, Yang tops the list, followed by Wu Yajun (58.5 billion yuan), chairwoman of Longfor Properties, and Chen Li Hua (50.5 billion yuan), chairwoman of Fu Wah International Group.

The list calculates the personal wealth, instead of family wealth, of women entrepreneurs. Most of the names on the list are from real estate and manufacturing.

The average wealth of the top 50 female entrepreneurs was four times than that of a decade ago, reaching 21.3 billion yuan, while the threshold for this year's list reached 9.5 billion yuan -- more than six times higher than 10 years before.

China accounts for 63 percent of the world's most successful female entrepreneurs, representing 20 percent growth compared with five years earlier.

Let's take a look at the top 10 richest women in China.
