Before the Indian Savitri Jindal, the ranking of the richest women in Asia was headed by the Chinese Yang Huiyan.
The owner of industrial conglomerate Jindal Group, Savitri Jindal, has become Asia’s richest woman with a net worth of $11.3 billion. This is stated in the Bloomberg article.
The publication said that two years ago Jindal’s fortune was only 3.2 billion dollars, and in April 2022 it reached 15.6 billion.
This happened when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to a sharp increase in commodity prices.
The Jindal Group, owned by Jindal, produces steel and is involved in cement, energy and infrastructure. The woman took over the Jindal Group shortly after her husband, the conglomerate’s founder, died in a helicopter crash in 2005.
There are 68 women in the Bloomberg 500 richest people in the world.
Remember that the richest people on the planet have lost $1.4 trillion since the beginning of 2022.
