Chief Executive, Soho China - Zhang Xin

Zhang Xin, is one of only 24 self-made female billionaires in the world. She has returned to China but how does she see China's future?

Zhang Xin is one of only 24 self-made female billionaires in the world. Her story is a true rags-to-riches tale. As a teenager she worked in a sweat-shop in her native China, by her twenties she worked for Goldman Sachs.
