“Simply put, that is what Michelle Yeoh has been doing for decades. An aristocratic Malaysian beauty becoming the queen of Hong Kong’s male-dominated action cinema? Michelle Yeoh did it. Subverting stereotypes in a Bong movie and breaking into the global consciousness with an Oscar-winning kung fu epic? Michelle Yeoh did it.

“Leading the first Hollywood film with an all-Asian cast in 25 years to become the highest-grossing romantic comedy in over a decade? Yes, Michelle Yeoh did it,” said the author of the international bestselling novel, Crazy Rich Asians. 

Michelle is listed as a Titan, and joins the ranks of Apple’s Tim Cook, Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner, Christine Lagarde, Gautam Adani, Hwang Dong-Hyuk, and more! 

Woah, what a list!
