W ang Laichun is one of the world's wealthiest self-made women, who has built a massive fortune in the electronics manufacturing industry. She is the co-founder and chairman of Luxshare Precision Industry, a major global manufacturer of electronic components and a key supplier to Apple. Her story is a remarkable one of entrepreneurial success. She started her career as a factory worker at Foxconn, the giant electronics manufacturer and main assembler of Apple's iPhones.
