One night in November 2002, in the most extravagant night D in Philadelphia, USA, a crazy birthday party was going on.
How crazy is that?
The girl wears a bikini made of vegetables, lies on the table, and then puts the expensive sushi on the vegetable bikini for the guests to enjoy.
The person who organized the birthday party was Jho Low, a student at the Wharton School of Business.
Jho Low is not simple, don't look at his honest appearance, and his abacus in his heart is super shrewd.
He used the use of resources and the integration of contacts, and used it perfectly.
At this time, he was only 20 years old, and he had already realized that connections are the truth of money.
He wanted to make a name for himself among his aristocratic classmates through the party.
Later, Jho Low did become famous, and he was very prosperous in the political and business worlds, and he was even more comfortable making money.
Jho Low spends a lot of money, playing with movie stars and supermodels. What more could you ask for in life?
Jho Low is so good at making money that he stands at the top of the pyramid. It's a pity that he is following a crooked path.

How rich is Jho Low?
He spent a lot of money, and he started with tens of millions.
What is talked about is that Jho Low spent a lot of money to confess Xiao Yaxuan.
In that year, Jho Low contracted all the pages of a newspaper to publish a courtship letter to Xiao Yaxuan.
However, Xiao Yaxuan was unmoved, he just thought he was a pervert and ignored it.
Later, Jho Low simply and rudely threw money, money, money......
In 2011, at the Atlantis Hotel in Dubai, Jho Low once again publicly courted Xiao Yaxuan.
In order to move the goddess, Jho Low specially invited top bands to help, created romantic fireworks shows, and sent helicopters to deliver jewelry, which was extremely courteous.
This time, Xiao Yaxuan was moved and dressed up to come to the appointment.
It is said that Jho Low threw out more than 20 million ringgit, about 32 million yuan, without even blinking an eye.
However, there was no follow-up after that.

Of course, before this, Jho Low was not idle, and he had been struggling on the road of hunting for beauty.
Trump's daughter, Ivanka, was once madly pursued by Jho Low. However, Jho Low failed to get his wish, and he failed to make an appointment with Ivanka.
Ivanka couldn't catch up, and Jho Low set his sights on Bai Fumei Hilton.
Hilton is the heir to Hilton Hotels Group.
In addition to being the heir to the group, Hilton also has multiple halos as an actor, singer, model and writer.
Such glittering people eventually became the prey of Jho Low.
Jho Low's all-purpose way to chase girls is to throw money. He made a big deal, and in order to ask Hilton out, he repeatedly set up high-end banquets, and a bottle of champagne alone cost 1.8 million pounds.
Miranda Kerr
Later, when pursuing Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr, Jho Low was even more amazing.
In just a few months, Jho Low spent about 52.4 million yuan just to buy jewelry. In order to make Miranda, who was divorced for a short time, Joh Low did not hesitate to spend RM1.6 billion to buy a luxury yacht and take her out to sea.
Jho Low spends a lot of money, he not only throws money at the woman he likes, but also at the man he likes.

Jho Low once entered Hollywood and established Red Rock Film Company. The movie "The Wolf of Wall Street", starring idol Oonardo DiCaprio, which he invested in filming, became popular all over the world.
It's just that Oonardo didn't win the Oscar "Little Golden Man", Jho Low didn't say a word, paid out of his own pocket, took out 600,000 US dollars, and made a "Little Golden Man" for him.
Jho Low spends money so willfully, where does he get so much money?

Could it be that he is the top rich second generation?
Jho Low is a rich second generation, but the top is not yet the top.
If all the money he spent was fraudulent, would you believe it?
Jho Low was born in Malaysia in 1981 into a family of businessmen.
In the 40s of the last century, his grandfather came to Malaysia from China to do business and ran the Malaysian General Industries Group.
Jho Low's father is the co-founder of an international group.
Having grown up in such a family for two generations, the seeds of Jho Low's business have long been quietly planted in cells, waiting to germinate.
And his family also intends to cultivate him and become a leading figure in the business world.
In secondary school, Jho Low was sent to Harrow School in England.
In college, Jho Low went to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in the United States to study finance.
Wharton School of Business
These two world-class universities became a turning point in Jho Low's life, giving him the opportunity to stand at the top of the pyramid and look at all beings.
At Harrow School in England, Jho Low met Richard Azzig.
At Wharton, Jho Low became acquainted with a group of Arab aristocratic classmates.
and Trump's daughter, Ivanka, also met here.
Ivanka Ivanka
Richa Aziz and his Arab classmates are the opening figures for Jho Low's next story.
In 2003, Jho Low applied for GAP YEAR and went to practice in society for one year.
Subsequently, Jho Low and a group of Arab classmates traveled to the Middle East and embarked on a trip to the Middle East.
Through the matchmaking of aristocratic classmates, Jho Low soon met the diplomat Otaiba.
Otaiba's father was the UAE's first oil minister.
Otaiba can be regarded as a proper political figure, but he can't stand his father and wife, and his four mothers gave birth to a bunch of brothers and sisters.
"There are more wolves and less meat", and there is not much of the family property distributed to everyone.
When Jho Low appeared in front of Otaiba, Otaiba showed little interest in the fledgling college student.
However, Jho Low's keen business acumen allows him to stay online wherever he goes, playing emotional cards, feasting on Otaiba, and chatting about his unique insights at critical moments.
Jho Low also suggested that Otaiba invest in Malaysia, saying that he could help introduce investment projects.
Otaiba gradually became acquainted with Jho Low, and even began to look at him differently.
Otaiba with his wife
Otaiba also introduced his friends to Jho Low. One of them, Kardoon, is the chairman of the Abu Dhabi Administrative Services Authority, and he is a man who can mobilize hundreds of billions of dollars.
The trip to the Middle East proved that Jho Low is really a master of integrating people.
These connections, Jho Low will be used for himself in the future.
In 2005, Jho Low returned to Malaysia and spent US$100 to register Winton Group in the Virgin Islands and lease the 17th floor of the Petronas Twin Towers as office space.
Who would have thought that such a large-scale company would be a shell company.
That's when an important figure came into the picture.
Najib Razak, the stepfather of Richa Aziz and the deputy prime minister of Malaysia at the time.
And Najib is preparing for a general election in two years' time.
Whoever has a good reputation in the hearts of the people and has made great contributions will have a greater chance of being elected prime minister.
Najib Najib has decided to turn a small town in southern Malaysia into a special economic zone: Iskandar.
When Jho Low heard the news, he immediately smelled the smell of money.
He thought that if he could introduce investors to invest in the construction of the special zone, he would be able to make a lot of money.
Jho Low quickly climbed Najib through Richa's relationship. Jho Low promised that if he earned, the money would go to them, and the loss would be his own.
Najib
As soon as he heard that it was a good thing, Najib and Jho Low hit it off.
Once the project party is done, it is up to the people who invest in the project. How do you bring in capital?
Jho Low immediately contacted his good buddy Otaiba and told him about the investment in Iskander.
Jho Low patted his chest and assured: "This project is a project of the Malaysian government. ”
Otaiba thought he had picked up a bargain and persuaded Caldun to invest $500 million.
However, this money was not spent on the construction of the SEZ. Later, until Jho Low disappeared, the SAR was unable to start construction.
Jho Low has spent half of the money on connecting all levels of the Malaysian government. And Najib is the biggest beneficiary.
With government connections, Jho Low was able to borrow more.
In 2009, when Najib Razak was running, Jho Low spent money behind his back, won him a lot of votes, and was successfully elected as Malaysia's prime minister.
Najib naturally became Jho Low's biggest backer next.
Jho Low
With Najib's support, Jho Low set up Abu Dhabi Kuwait Malaysia Investment Company, which is actually a shell company.
Jho Low gave shares in Malaysia to Otaiba, Kuwait and some officials in Malaysia to make them shareholders in Malaysia.
In this way, the background of Malaysian companies is better, the confidence of loans is more sufficient, and more banks are willing to lend to Jho Low.
Jho Low easily borrowed US$5 million in Malaysia's name to buy two construction companies.
Yington took out another loan and bought the land in the Iskandar Special Zone, which was unwilling to start construction, and was ready to resell it at a high price to make the difference.
At this time, Jho Low deliberately released rumors in order to attract buyers, and the UAE was ready to continue to invest in Malaysian projects after investing in Iskandar Special Zone.
Taiyi, the richest person in the UAE, is interested in investing in Malaysia and took the initiative to negotiate with Jho Low.
Jho Low deliberately whetted his appetite, saying that Malaysia still has many projects to cooperate with the UAE, and Teyi has to show 100% sincerity to buy the land and two construction companies in Iskandar Special District.

The strong backgrounds of the two construction companies gave Taiyi no reason to refuse and agreed to Jho Low's request.
Once back and forth, Jho Low made a net profit of $110 million and got 50 million shares of Taiyi.
Jho Low's wave of "empty gloves and white wolves" can be described as cloud-turning. Jho Low's appetite is also growing.
Jho Low encouraged Goldman Sachs to work with him and had Goldman Sachs issue US$3.5 billion in corporate bonds, which were used by Malaysian companies to invest in thermal power plants around the world.
Then, it is planned to set up a new company, package it and go public, and make money. After this wave of operations, $5 billion easily went to Jho Low.
Jho Low walked into the wealth trap and used shell companies and government networks to amass wave after wave of wealth.
In 2016, there was a sensational event in which Malaysia's treasury was emptied of $4.5 billion and left with $13 billion in external debt.
The financial "system" manipulated by Jho Low has finally collapsed.
After Najib was dismissed, he was ready to abscond abroad with his wife on a private jet. But as soon as he arrived at the airport, he was surrounded by crowds. In the end, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Gifts such as jewelry that Jho Low gave when he soaked N before were also confiscated.
Those involved in Jho Low's case have been punished in accordance with the law.
Goldman Sachs was fined $2.9 billion.
Those who should have been arrested have been arrested, and only Jho Low has escaped from his shell and has not been arrested.
Later, it was said that Jho Low negotiated with the Malaysian government: he was willing to settle with the Malaysian government for 2 billion yuan, hoping that the government would withdraw the lawsuit against him.
It is not known exactly where Jho Low went.
Jho Low gave me an inspiration: the brain is a good thing, the key depends on where it is used.
At the same time, it also corroborates the two sentences in the TV series "Flowers":
First, you have to rely on your brain to make money. The layman looks at the façade, and the insider looks at the back door.
Second, the heart can be hot, but the head must be cold.
