Li Jinyang, a Chinese citizen, is a prominent figure in the mining industry, currently ranked #2274 on the Forbes 2026 Billionaires list. His wealth stems from his involvement in the metals-mining sector, specifically through his position as the main shareholder of Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining, a company based in Inner Mongolia. Following the death of her husband, Zhao Meiguang, in 2021, Li inherited control of Chifeng Gold Mining. Her career in mining has allowed her to amass a significant net worth.

How to read Li Jinyang's profile

Public net-worth figures are estimates. They combine observable inputs—typically listed equity, disclosed transactions, and market prices—with editorial judgment where filings are incomplete (for example, private holdings, debt, or cross-holdings). For Li Jinyang, we anchor the narrative to Mining and Mining, then update the headline number as markets move. The chart on this page is meant to show trajectory, not a certified balance sheet.

When you see $1.532B alongside global rank #2564, interpret it as our best synthesis of widely cited ownership and price signals—not a claim about cash on hand. Estimates can diverge from other publishers because of different treatment of options, trusts, charitable vehicles, or illiquid assets. We document the general approach in methodology and welcome corrections via corrections.

Country (CHINA) and career milestones on this page are curated for reader context; they should be verified against primary sources when used for research. Editorial metadata for this profile is refreshed on a rolling basis, with deeper audits at least annually (last noted cycle: 2026).

Looking for depth? When available, the dossier and timeline sections below add long-form context beyond the headline number—prioritize those modules when evaluating claims about strategy, controversies, or philanthropic commitments.
