Ever wondered where most self-made billionaire women actually come from?

Here's something that caught my attention: the Asia-Pacific region dominates the list. We're talking about nearly half of the top 50 wealthiest self-made women globally.

What's even more interesting? China and the United States are neck and neck at the top when you count by country. Both nations have produced roughly the same number of these ultra-successful entrepreneurs.

The concentration in APAC really highlights how much the economic landscape has shifted over recent decades. These aren't inherited fortunes—these are women who built their empires from scratch in industries ranging from tech to manufacturing to real estate.
