He’s 24 years old. He parties with Rihanna and Bella Hadid. He watches basketball games with Yao Ming.
And on Tuesday, he became a billionaire.
Eric Tse, who recently graduated from the University of
Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School of Finance, was gifted about
$3.88 billion in his family company’s shares on Tuesday.
Tse’s parents are both executive directors of Sino Biopharmaceutical
Limited, and on Tuesday they gave him a fifth of the company’s total
issued shares “as a gift at nil consideration,” according to a company
statement.
Tse, who is from Hong Kong, is the latest member of Asia’s booming
billionaire club — but apparently wants no part in the wealth rankings.
The company statement said “he will endeavour not to participate in such
rankings in his own name, and would recommend participating in such
nominations in the name of the Tse Ping family.”
The statement suggests he wants to keep a low profile — yet as
documented on Instagram, he’s been rubbing elbows with the rich and
famous long before the share transfers. In 2017, he posed with renowned
models Bella Hadid and Lily Aldridge at a Bulgari party in Venice. Just a
few months later, he posted a photo with singer and Fenty Beauty owner
Rihanna in New York, captioning it, “Party with my idol.”
His Instagram posts tell the story of a globetrotting life –
snowboarding in Japan, parasailing in Thailand, swimming with dolphins
in the Bahamas.
He’s also posted photos with some of the most prominent athletes in
China, like Olympic gold-medalist swimmer Sun Yang and basketball icon
Yao Ming.
He has met political leaders and members of royalty like Princess
Charlene of Monaco and former French first lady Carla Bruni — but more
striking are the close ties he seems to have with mainland Chinese
politicians.
That’s not surprising, as his father Tse Ping was previously a
committee member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative
Conference (CPPCC), the country’s top political advisory body.
On October 1, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s
Republic of China, the younger Tse attended Beijing celebrations open
only to invited guests and dignitaries.
The company statement on Tuesday said Tse’s parents had transferred
the shares to him “to refine the management and inheritance of family
wealth.” The document was signed by the company’s chairwoman, Theresa
Tse – Eric’s sister.
Shares aside, Tse also gained a new position — executive director of
the company’s executive board committee. According to the company
statement, before being given this role, he previously served as CEO at
the North America arm of recruitment company Liepin.
Tse is part of a new wave of wealth in China. A “rich list” released
earlier this month showed that although Chinese wealth is concentrated
in the hands of tech entrepreneurs, pharmaceutical moguls – like those
in Tse’s family – are making ground. Pharmaceutical moguls make up 8% of
China’s rich list, double that of 10 years ago.
China’s young rich also sparked last year’s viral “flaunt your
wealth” challenge, which later spread worldwide. The challenge involved
people photographing themselves pretending to fall out of luxury cars or
trip, spreading their expensive belongings in front of them as if
they’ve just casually fallen out of their pockets.
According to a new report released Monday, there are also more
Chinese than Americans in the richest 10% of people in the world – a
first. (CNN)
