Born to a noble family, the ethnic Manchu woman - whose ethnic group ruled the last imperial Chinese dynasty, the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) - emerged as the wealthiest woman in the world's most populous nation and fastest-growing economy.
The Forbes website estimated Chan's personal and family wealth at $2.3 billion, as of March.
Chinese Vice-President Xi Jinping and member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee Wang Yang are also on the list. Wang is also Party chief of Guangdong province.
The shadowy group of activist computer hackers, Anonymous, earned a place, despite the list technically being for influential people.
Time Managing Editor Rick Stengel said the list was "about the infinite possibilities of influence and the power of influence to change the world.”
First published in 1999 as a result of a debate among several academics, the Time 100 list has become an annual event.
