胡润：“全球女富豪前三甲”花落中国

世界女首富——张茵，53岁，玖龙纸业创始人，个人资产：56亿美元

More than half the world's richest self-made women are Chinese, thanks in large part to Mao and cheap childcare, according to the Hurun Report, which compiles information on the wealthiest Chinese.

    在世界上最富有的白手起家的女性中，有超过一半的是中国女性，这在很大程度上要归功于毛泽东时代的“妇女解放运动”和育儿压力低的现状——出自胡润报告，该报告主要编制中国富豪的相关信息。

The world's three richest women are Chinese -- as are 11 of the top 20 -- according to the Hurun List of Self-Made Women Billionaires, published on Tuesday.Zhang Yin, 53, the Chinese head of a recycled paper company, Nine Dragons Paper, ranks as the wealthiest self-made woman on earth with an estimated personal fortune of $5.6bn. Wu Yajun, 46, of Longfor Property, comes in second with $4.1bn and Chen Lihua, 69, of Fuhua International, a Hong Kong conglomerate, ranks third with $4bn.

    本周二胡润发布的“白手起家亿万女富豪”榜单中，全球前三位最富有的女性均来自中国，其中前20名中有11个是中国人。53岁的玖龙纸业创始人张茵在“全球白手起家女富豪”榜单中以个人资产56亿美元排名首位；排名第二的是46岁来自龙湖地产的吴亚军，个人资产41亿美元；富华国际69岁的陈丽华以个人财富40亿美元排名第三。

The richest non-Chinese is Spaniard Rosalia Mera of Zara, the fashion house, with $3.5bn, and two others who made their fortunes in fashion: Doris Fisher for Gap is eighth and Giuliana Benetton of Benetton is 11th. Oprah Winfrey, the US television show host, ranks ninth with $2.3bn.

    最富有的非中国女性为来自西班牙Zara（时装公司）的Rosalia Mera，以35亿美元位居第四，其他还有两位来自时装公司，分别是排名第八的Doris Fisher和排名第十一的Giuliana Benetton。美国著名脱口秀主持人Oprah Winfrey以23亿美元的身价排名第九。

Nandani Lynton, of the China Europe International Business School in Shanghai, identified political and social factors for making a scrap paper lady from China richer than the doyennes of Zara, Gap, Benetton and Ebay. "Mao made an incredible difference when he said women hold up half the sky, since then it has been assumed that all women in China will work," Ms Lynton said. Chinese women are also among the most ambitious on earth, according to a study from the Centre for Work-Life Policy in New York, which found 76 per cent of women in China aspired to top jobs, compared with 52 per cent in the US.

    来自中国中欧国际工商学院（位于上海）的Nandani Lynton认为，特定的政治及社会因素使得中国的女性可以比那些来自Zara, Gap, Benetton 和Ebay的女老前辈们更加富有。“当毛泽东不可思议地指出‘妇女能顶半边天’时，让女性在中国的地位大大提升”，Lynton说。中国女性也是世界上最有野心的女性，根据纽约工作生活政策中心的一项研究，有76%的中国女性期望得到更高的职位，这个数据在美国只有52%。

Working mothers in China and other Bric countries "are able to aim high, in part because they have more shoulders to lean on than their American and European peers when it comes to childcare", the centre noted. With an average work week of 71 hours for Chinese women, cheap childcare is essential, and in China is often provided by grandparents -- four for every only child. Nandani Lynton noted that it was not just the availability of cheap or free childcare but also the absence of any stigma attached to using it that helped Chinese women dominate the global rich lists.
