Vietnam's first self-made woman billionaire Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao took her budget airline, VietJet Air, public in 2017.
She launched the airline in 2011 and made a big splash early on with ads featuring bikini-clad flight attendants.
Nguyen got the idea to launch a low-cost airline while she was a trader, when she predicted that demand for air travel in Vietnam would increase.
She also has investments in HD Bank, technology, green energy and real estate, including hotels and beach resorts.
After studying economics and finance in Soviet Russia in the 1980s, Nguyen got her start trading commodities in Eastern Europe and Asia.
