Huang Xi, chairwoman of the Good First Group in Fujian, defended her title of richest female entrepreneur in the province with 10-billion-yuan ($1.6 billion) worth of assets, according to a ranking list by the Hurun Research Institute on Oct 20.

Statistics show that the Good First Group’s main businesses cover finance, real estate and high technology.

Huang is the only one from Fujian on the list of the top 50 richest Chinese women, ranking 17th. Her 10-billion-yuan value, however, is down by 5 percent from last year.

Yang Huiyan, who owns the Guangdong-based property developer Country Garden, topped the list with a fortune of 44 billion yuan.
