The Richest Woman in Asia Passed Away

The title has certain logic error--the richest people never dies. Once the former richest one passed away, the second is promoted to the No.1 position.

Nina Wang, the chairlady of Chinachem Group, left her net worth of $4,200,000,000, and died of unspecific illness on April 3rd, 2007.

Nina Wang was born in my hometown, Shanghai, in 1937. Nina Wang married Teddy Wang, the founder of Chinachem Group, and immigrated to Hong Kong, where eventually their business becomes one of Hong Kong's largest and most powerful companies based on a lucrative pharmaceutical division.

Teddy Wang was kidnapped twice, and disappeared in the second kidnap. He was announced dead in 1999. After that, Nina Wang got the crown of Chairlady. Teddy's fater decided to battle with her for the wealth his son left. However, Nina Wang won the battle.

Nina Wang is famous for her pigtails and traditional Chinese dresses. She is titled the richest woman and the 35th richest person in Asia.
