45 YEARS OLD HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT NOW RICHEST SELF-MADE WOMAN IN THE WORLD

She started her multi-billion lens-making business when she was only 22 

                              

47-year old Zhou Qunfei was a casual labourer at a local industry, secondary school dropout but now with a total assets of over $8 billion (N3 trillion). That essentially makes her the wealthiest independent lady on the planet, as of late as announced by different firms including Bloomberg and Forbes. But what exact business would a school drop-out engage in to make her this rich? Well, she runs a tech company which produces the glass covers utilized by several smartphone makers chief among them are Apple and Samsung. 

                               

Apparently, her mom passed on when she was barely five. She was left to live with her partially-blind father, who had, incidentally, lost a finger in a mechanical mishap. As a tyke, she started raising pigs and ducks to get extra sustenance and cash for the family. 

When she was 16 years old, Qunfei was compelled to drop out in high school so she could fully focus on providing for her poverty-stricken family. It is at this point she landed a job with a manufacturing plant making watch for about $1 (N367) a day.

                                

Zhou quit the job six years later, and with some peanut savings from his previous job, she opted to venture into her own business alongside some of her family members. Together, they began a workshop making watch lenses for clients. In spite of the fact that the organization was consistently developing, it wasn't until the point when she settled on the vocation changing choice to start manufacturing screens for mobile handsets that her boomed.
