A Ferrari 296 GTB is on display during Shell's Power Of Performance at Lavan on May 11, 2023 in New York City.

is now the first and only country where at least a quarter of all purchases. According to , female buyers accounted for 26 percent of the Italian supercar maker’s sales in (not including Taiwan or Hong Kong) over the past five years. Though we do not have the exact number, 26 percent far exceeds the proportion of Ferraris sold to women in other countries.

Bloomberg says that China is the global number two spot for billionaires — trailing only the U.S. — and Chinese citizens can be found up and down the list of Asia’s wealthiest . Many of them are reportedly self-made, as well. As always, social media plays a big role. Douyin, which you can think of as China’s TikTok, often reportedly showcases videos of young women driving Ferraris.

Executives over at the prancing horse seem well aware of this trend. All the way back in 2010, the company’s former CEO reportedly said that one-fifth of the previous year’s sales in China were to . Back then, shipment into China was only about one-seventh of where it is at today.
