Lihua Chen is a Chinese businesswoman who has a net worth of $2.7 billion. Mrs. Chen earned her wealth as the founder and president of Fuh Wah International Group, a diversified conglomerate that has real estate in its main focus. Chen was born and raised by a poor family who started a furniture maintenance business in the mid-1970s.
Still a high-school student at the time, she got involved in the family biz in the 1980s, mainly traveling to Hong Kong to pursue real estate and trade opportunities. Approximately a decade later, she came up with the idea to set up her own company which would focus on residential housing projects. Thus, Chen returned to her hometown to start Fuh Wah. Apart from building a successful enterprise from nothing, she is a great philanthropist and unselfish supporter of social causes.
