Chinese businessman Chen Fashu has an estimated net worth of $2.8 billion as of April 2016, according to Forbes. He currently serves as the Chairman of the New Huadu Industrial Group.

In 2009, Chen Fashu was reported to have purchased a 12% stake at Yunnan Baiyao Group which was allegedly worth $2.2 billion. Yunnan Baiyao Group specializes in producing diverse commercial products like toothpaste and medicine. Yunnan Baiyao Group is actually a subsidiary of Yunnan Hongta Group. In the past 12 months, Chen Fashu's fortune has significantly reduced due to the lowering prices of mineral accompanied by continuously rising cost.
