They are young, rich and powerful. And they are beautiful, to boot.

Chinese media sites have listed the nation's top 10 "CEO beauties" - women in power who have both the smarts to run a company, as well as the looks.

Most of them boast stellar credentials - be it an Ivy League education, professional degree or career achievements at a relatively young age.

One of them, Dong Siyang, even has a Singapore connection.

The motivational speaker and chairman of her own company reportedly graduated from the Nanyang Technological University.

Another CEO, Xi Huilin, who is in her 30s, was a child prodigy who became a lecturer when she was 19.

At 30, she was controlling US$600 million (S$768 million) of assets in her company specialising in online education. 

Here's a run-down of who these women are.
