Cher Wang
Cher Wang makes women in tech look as comfortable as granny panties during lockdown! The co-founder and Chairperson of HTC Corporation has a staggering net worth of well over a billion dollars.
Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, Wang began her path to success while working for her sister who cofounded First International Computer in 1980. It was while selling FIC motherboards that Wang had her novel idea for HTC – computers that could travel with you.
After conquering laptops, Wang’s business shifted gears and moved into the mobile phone industry. By 2011, Wang had that market cornered, becoming the largest cellphone company in the U.S. ahead of Apple and Samsung.
After stepping down as CEO last year, Cher will continue as the struggling HTC’s Chairperson while ensuring the company’s expansion into the exciting realms of Virtual Reality, AI, IoT, and 5G technology. The former number one person on Forbes’ Taiwan Rich list never says die.
