Chinese 9X owns 7 houses worth 2,800 billion VND, feeling guilty about being too rich

Wang Hongquanxing – KOL (online influencer) – in China makes many people shocked at his level of wealth.

In a recent interview with a media outlet Phoenix News, a young man in his 30s revealed that he owns 7 properties in the Star River luxury residential area in Beijing, China. The total value of this asset is 800 million yuan, equivalent to 110 million USD (more than 2,800 billion VND), according to SCMP.

Wang said he is living in a house of about 700 square meters because the larger apartment – 991 square meters – that he owns lacks natural light.

This KOL also shared that he never goes out unless wearing costumes and jewelry worth at least 10 million yuan, equivalent to 1.4 million USD (35 billion VND).

Wang always has eight escorts. Among them, 4 bodyguards always follow and protect him. The videos he posted showing off his wealth made him labeled “China’s Kim Kardashian”.

Initially, Wang named his account Wang Hongquan, then added “xing” (meaning “star”).

He became famous when he posted a video of himself asking for lucky money from his mother in 2022. The simplicity of the video contrasts with the luxurious interior decoration style and large jade stones that his mother and father used. worn on his body, attracting many netizens to follow Wang’s Douyin account – currently reaching 4.4 million followers.

However, Wang wanted more than that. He clearly stated the reason he became a KOL: “I don’t care how much money I can make. I just want to attract attention.”

Wang admitted that he is a vain person and knows nothing but spending money. In addition, because he is so rich, he feels self-conscious about his appearance.

Wang rarely reveals his background. Some information revealed is that he comes from a wealthy family thanks to coal mining, then switched to the jade jewelry business.

Wang is the neighbor and close friend of famous Chinese actress – Fan Bingbing. He also has extensive relationships in the showbiz (entertainment) world.

Last March, Wang’s 1,000 square meter store – Quranus – opened with grandeur in the heart of Beijing’s luxury district. A series of stars such as Canadian actress Christy Chung and Brunei singer-actor Wu Chun were present to celebrate his big day.

However, Wang said, many celebrities try to befriend him to buy cheap jewelry, but he still only sees them as customers.

Wang’s style does not make people disgusted like other KOLs or wealthy second-generation people (second generation rich people) who flaunt their wealth. Instead, netizens say, his honesty about his level of wealth and ambition makes him loved.

“Wang lives more honestly than most celebrities, both about money and his reputation and his inferiority complex, even though he has many times more assets than normal people,” a Douyin user commented.
