On February 24, Forbes released the 2021 List of Hong Kong's 50 Richest People, and Li Ka-shing continued to be the richest man in Hong Kong, with a net worth of about US$36 billion (about HK$280.8 billion). It was followed by Lee Shau Kee, founder of Henderson Land, with a net worth of US$34.2 billion; third was New World Development Chairman Cheng Ka Chun and his family, with a net worth of US$26.4 billion.
Hong Kong's economy grew 6.4 percent last year, driven by exports and local consumption, but the Hang Seng Index has fallen 16 percent in the past 12 months, Forbes said. Despite the complex economic and stock market situation in Hong Kong, the net worth of Hong Kong's 50 richest people fell only slightly by 0.9% to US$328 billion in 2021, with more than half of them increasing their net worth, especially Lee Shau Kee and Cheng Ka Chun.
In addition, a number of rich women have been born, each of whom has a different way of getting rich, either with high-quality family resources or with a keen business vision. For example, the returns generated by investing in start-ups have spawned two of the richest people who have increased their wealth the most this year. Among them, the female head of real estate, Chen Tanqingfen, has more than doubled her net worth to $3.9 billion, thanks to her investment in Kuaishou.
There is also a rich woman Xie Lingling who perfectly grasped the business opportunities and invested most of her funds in the real estate industry, consolidating her position as a rich woman. Although she did not harvest perfect love, her life was still colorful, with five children, five children of different sizes, all enjoying a rich material life.
Speaking of Xie Lingling, she is also a big figure in the circle of Celebrities in Hong Kong. In fact, there is another person named Zhu Lingling, whose name is very similar to Xie Lingling's, and her fate is also very similar. Both of them were favored by the rich because they became popular in the entertainment industry, and eventually successfully married into the rich.
Neither Chu Nor Lingling Nor Tse is a native of Hong Kong, Tse Ling Ling is Taiwanese and Chu is a Chinese born in Myanmar. Both have experienced divorce, but Zhu Lingling is now married to billionaire Luo Kangrui, while Xie Lingling has been single. There is an old saying: once you enter the giants, it is as deep as the sea, but in this giant, Xie Lingling is beyond the world and has become a legend.
Xie Lingling won the Golden Horse Award at the age of 8, married a rich family at the age of 24, and after giving birth to 5 children in a row, her husband cheated on Wang Zuxian. It was intolerable, so she kicked the 60 billion giants, and since then she has raised her children alone, and now she is worth billions, which can be called an inspirational queen. In 1956, Xie Lingling was born in Taiwan, because of her family's solid wealth, she was raised by her parents since she was a child, which was called a pink carved jade, and her appearance was very gratifying.
At the age of 8, Xie Lingling participated in the child star selection of "Wanjun Cousin", effortlessly stood out from more than 1,000 candidates, played Wanjun's childhood, and won the Best Child Star Award at the 4th Golden Horse Awards for this drama. The following year, he won the 5th Golden Horse Awards and the 13th Asian Film Festival Best Child Star Award for "My Daughter Ruolan".
At that time, Taiwan praised Xie Lingling as a contemporary "genius child star", and even many families were eager to have such a daughter. It can be said that Xie Lingling was the "national girlfriend" at that time, and her influence in Taiwan was even higher than that of Lin Qingxia. If Xie Lingling continues to develop in the entertainment industry, she can even reach the level of a god, but she chooses to quit the circle and marry into a rich family to marry and have children.
Just as Hong's Xie Lingling was violently pursued by the wealthy businessman Lin Jianyue, she eventually got married in Hong Kong. Lin Jianyue's father, Lin Baixin, was one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong at that time, and also a leading figure in Hong Kong's fashion merchants at that time. Lin Baixin controlled four listed companies at most, with assets of up to 60 billion yuan, and his business involved real estate, clothing, entertainment, film and television. Lin Baixin is also a very popular rich man, he has four wives in his life, Lin Jianyue's mother Yu Baozhu is the second wife, but she is the main mother of the Lin family and the chairman of Poly Real Estate in Hong Kong.
The situation of the Lin Baixin family is somewhat similar to that of the He Hongshen family, the eldest wife has no quarrel with the world, and the second wife has the strongest ability and the greatest desire to control. Lin Baixin relied on Yu Baozhu to help make a fortune, so the status of the Yu Baozhu family was very high. Lin Baixin has four sons, of which Lin Jianyue has the strongest ability, so he is also Lin Baixin's most trusted son, and has been cultivated by his father as a successor.
After Xie Lingling married Lin Jianyue, she gave up her acting career, has always been at ease to be her own rich wife, has been at home with her husband and children, gave birth to five children for Lin Jianyue, and lived a life that many people envy. But many people did not expect that the matter of Lin Jianyue and Wang Zuxian was exposed in 1993.
Xie Lingling was tough, and when she divorced, she also asked her ex-husband to pay a huge amount of alimony. After negotiations, she received Lin Jianyue's 140 million yuan in alimony. The money was paid by Lin Jianyue and Lin Baixin together, and the father and son paid 70 million yuan each. It can be said that 140 million yuan was very much in Hong Kong at that time, after all, the richest man in the mainland in 1993 was only a few hundred million yuan.
At that time, some people calculated that Xie Lingling would receive 800,000 interest per month by depositing alimony into a Hong Kong bank. Although prices in Hong Kong are higher than in the mainland, the cost of living for 800,000 yuan is also very high, and that was 29 years ago. After the divorce, Xie Lingling began to study money management, invested in real estate and stocks, and quickly gained a foothold in the business world.
Today, Xie Lingling's own mansion has a market value of up to 400 million. In addition, she also invested in several houses in Hong Kong, and later Xie Lingling also bought real estate in Shanghai, Suzhou and other places, which can be said to be a proper invisible richman. In 2004, she bought all the shops on Guanqian Street in Suzhou, China's first commercial pedestrian street. Today, it is a famous business district in the center of Suzhou, less than 2 kilometers away from the Suzhou Museum designed by Master I.M. Pei. It is conceivable that Xie Lingling has to receive soft hands every month to collect rent.
Surprisingly, after the divorce, Xie Lingling and Lin Jianyue's mother Yu Baozhu had a very good relationship. "I'd rather have a daughter-in-law than a child." This is a very popular sentence in the 90s of the last century, this sentence comes from the mouth of Yu Baozhu, the mother-in-law of "Little Wanjun" Xie Lingling. The relationship between two people is like that of a biological mother and daughter. Yu Baozhu often stayed with Xie Lingling and traveled abroad on a private jet. On Yu Baozhu's birthday, Xie Lingling will also kneel down to pour tea for her.
From Miss Xie to Mrs. Lin to Miss Xie, Xie Lingling just said lightly: "Thanks to the ups and downs of life, I can learn a lot of things and make me more confident now." Some people say that Xie Lingling can marry into the rich in the first half of her life and live a rich life; in the second half of her life, she has lived herself into a rich family.
How to choose your feelings actually reflects everyone's values. After all, marriage is the biggest investment in a lifetime, and what kind of man a woman chooses is also the biggest investment in a woman's life. Now Xie Lingling owns a 400 million mansion and can charge 800,000 interest per month, which is an absolute winner in life, but her love has fallen into a blank. If it were you, how would you choose?
