Okay, it’s also not that hard to be a billionaire if they exchanged their SGD into Ringgit since it’s SGD1 to RM3.06 (as at 2h March 2020). So, yeah, it’s China. Hardly surprising right? Then again, we are talking about women billionaires yeah.
Does that mean women have better chances in China versus women in all the advanced economies? There’s no such conclusion yeah. One thing is real and has happened. By the way the billionaire here refers to those with their assets calculated in USD yeah. So, technically they are multi-billionaires if it’s in RM.
