At present, Li Ka-shing's wealth on Forbes is only over $30 billion, which is worse than that of Ma Yun, Xu Jiayin and others. However, as we all know, Forbes underestimated Li Ka-shing, and Li Ka-shing himself said that it was meaningless to stop caring about wealth ranking.
So how much did Li Ka-shing earn in his life? Li Ka-shing's wealth can be divided into several parts. The first part is Li Ka-shing's personal wealth, mainly the shares of Husky Energy, Changhe, Changshi, Changjiang Fund and electric power industry. These assets add up to more than $30 billion on Forbes.
The second part of Li Ka-shing's wealth is the assets under the Li Ka-shing Family Trust Fund. Li Ka-shing put most of his wealth in a company called ——Shining Unity Holdings Limited, a subsidiary of Li Ka-shing, which is the ultimate destination of family fortune, Li Ka-shing. This company holds shares in 22 companies owned by the Li Ka-shing family. At present, one third of the rights and interests are in Li Ka-shing's own hands, and two thirds are in Li Zeju's hands.
The total market value of these 22 companies has reached HK$ 85 million. Calculated by ——Shining Unity Holdings Limited, the share held by Li Ka-shing, the total value is close to HK$ 500 billion, which is more than US$ 60 billion when converted into US dollars.
Li Ka-shing has made it clear that this wealth will be given to his eldest son, Li Zeju. In other words, Li Zeju will inherit more than $60 billion in wealth in the future. At present, Ma, the richest man in China, is worth 50 billion dollars, which means that he has already booked the position of the richest man in China in the future.
The third part is the assets under the name of Li Ka-shing Foundation. According to the assets disclosed by the Li Ka-shing Foundation in 20 10, the Foundation currently holds 8 billion US dollars of assets, all of which were donated to the Foundation by Li Ka-shing. Over the years, Li Ka-shing has donated 6,543.805 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash through the Foundation, not including 8 billion yuan earmarked for Shantou University. That is, this part of wealth is about $654.38+000 billion.
The fourth part is the anonymous assets owned by Li Ka-shing. Li Ka-shing is a man who is good at hiding his wealth. We can't verify a lot of wealth, but we can find 63 technology companies invested by Li Ka-shing in the world through his confidante Victoria Harbour in Zhou Kaixuan. This includes the famous Facebook. At present, Li Ka-shing indirectly holds a 4.5% stake in Facebook, worth more than $20 billion. This part of wealth is at least $30 billion.
The fifth part is Li Ka-shing's cash. Forbes once made an estimate, and they calculated that Li Ka-shing had more than $4 billion in cash. 20 12 this was the arrangement when Li Ka-shing announced the separation. Li Zeju inherited the family fund and his youngest son, Li Zekai, inherited the cash. Although the cash portion may not be as much as more than $60 billion, since it can satisfy both sons, it is at least a considerable figure. You know, 1996, Li Ka-shing's son Li Zeju was kidnapped, and Li Ka-shing took out 654.38 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash in one day. Even today, there are not many rich people with such strength in China. The cash part is conservatively estimated to be at least $654.38+000 billion.
This part of wealth adds up to nearly $654.38+060 billion. At present, the wealth of Bezos, the richest man in the world, is $654.38+065.438+000 billion. In fact, Li Ka-shing is already the richest man in the world. Of course, other companies may also have some invisible rich, at least the richest man in the world above Forbes. Li Ka-shing earns four times as much as Ma Yun's wealth.
