Description

This "Marketplace" audio clip, from American Public Media, introduces us to one of China's rags-to-riches family. Jimmy Ye built Beijing's first Formula Three racetrack; his wife, Celia, runs an upscale furniture and interior design business. Over the past decade, they have boosted their net worth to a cool $100 million. China's rapid economic transformation has created opportunities that have launched a new class of millionaires.
