It has to be said that the information of "Forbes" magazine is still very comprehensive. It lists almost all of William Chen's current companies. Except for some companies invested in China that are not listed, the assets in the United States are still very comprehensive.

After seeing this, many people realized that before they knew it, there were already so many companies under William Chen.

Moreover, there are rumors that on March 3, "Forbes" magazine had already prepared to release this rich list, but William Chen and News Corporation announced the news of the acquisition of Twentieth Century Fox on the same day. The release of the list was urgently stopped, and they recalculated Chen William's assets, rising from the original fifth place to the fourth place, and only released the list again today.

The announcement of the Forbes rich list is also equivalent to confirming the previous "Wall Street Journal" report that William Chen earned nearly 300 billion US dollars during the subprime mortgage crisis.

After the launch of this list, for the first time, there was a strange phenomenon, that is, no one paid much attention to the richest man who was the most eye-catching before, and even the top three were only mentioned in passing in news reports, but Just a few words.

And all the reports and discussions are focused on the No.4 William Chen.

After all, the fourth richest man in the world is not yet 22 years old.

After all, Chen William, with a net worth of 310 billion US dollars, was called the most famous prodigal son in the United States last year.

From the rich second generation who squandered their wealth to the top ten richest in the history of the youngest list with a net worth of 310 billion US dollars, Chen William's transformation is really too topical.

And in the final analysis, the world's richest man introduced this time is not an American, but a Mexican telecommunications tycoon. He himself is not as topical as Chen William's.

If it is said that Chen William's popularity was mainly in Europe and America before, then after the launch of the "Forbes" rich list, he has already had a global influence.

Especially in Asia, including mainland China, his name has been mentioned more and more frequently among the general public.

According to data from Yahoo Japan, after the launch of the "Forbes" rich list, searches for William Chen and related searches surged in a short period of time, occupying the top position on the search list, and the popularity has not diminished.

Similarly, Huaguo's Baidu company also released relevant data. In terms of the popularity of Baidu's search, William Chen and the related search curve have almost skyrocketed, and it is rare that in this kind of economic event, the participating Women outnumber men.

And there is no shortage of news about Chen William in China at this time, for example, news broke out:

Yang Tianzhen, the publicity director of Fan Bingbing Studio, said that this investment in Huace Film and Television is the first move after Fan Bingbing Studio received heavy financing, hoping to have a closer relationship with excellent producers. cooperation to contribute to the prosperity of film and television works.

In fact, this time the investment was made after Fan Bingbing Studio and Huaxia Future Capital negotiated with Huace Film and Television that they would invest at a valuation of 10 billion Chinese currency. Huaxia Future Capital took out 5000 million, of which half of the amount of 2500 million is a loan provided to Fan Bingbing, and then the two parties will jointly invest in Fan Bingbing's studio.

After that, the remaining half of the funds were invested in Huace Film and Television, together with Fan Bingbing's own film and television contract, a total of 30% of the shares were obtained.

After this investment, many people thought of what Fan Bingbing once said: "You don't need to marry a wealthy family, you can be a wealthy family yourself."

Sure enough, after she left Huayi Company, she transformed herself into a major shareholder of the film and television company, and Fan Ye's personality became more stable.

Of course, these are publicity for the public. As for the bigwigs in the entertainment industry or other industries, they can naturally understand what Fan Bingbing is relying on in these operations. What she is standing behind is the just-announced global The fourth richest man, with a net worth of US$310 billion, is more than four times that of the richest man in mainland China...

After building a multi-purpose building, it can be said that he still attaches great importance to the Huaguo market.

These reports have greatly increased Chen William's popularity in China, and there are even Chen William's fan organizations in China, and there are quite a few of them.

This can be seen from one thing, that is, among the current pirated discs and online on-demand movies, the most popular movie is "Magic Mike", and it must be a version marked to contain easter eggs.

The reason is that after someone posted the easter egg of William Chen in the movie "Magic Mike" from overseas to the domestic forum, it immediately became a popular post, recreating that this video had just appeared on the American Network. The grand scene of the time.

"He is young, he is rich, I can understand, but he is so handsome and has such a good figure, what should I do? I have watched this video 100 times, and now I am watching it for the 101st time. It went well. Substitute yourself into Ivanta... let's not talk about it, I have to get busy first."

"Upstairs, please put your hands on the keyboard, otherwise I have reason to suspect that you are..."

……

"I'm so envious of Paris. You can enter William Chen's house at will. I also want to..."

"They were good friends at first, they were very familiar with each other, and even now they are often rumored to be having sex."

Li Yanran looked at the news in the HOLA group on her mobile phone. After the reports for a period of time, many William Chen fan groups appeared. Of course, because everyone knows that HOLA is a product of William Chen's company, they will build their fan groups here. inside the app.

At this time, she often recalled that when she opened the door that morning, the man who was much more handsome than the stars she had seen on TV stood at the door of her house and asked her where It's not that there lives a man named Chen Chuan.

At that time, after the man left, she still felt a little lost, and she also felt a little inexplicable.

Recently, when her best friend gave her Amway, a super rich and handsome man with Chinese blood, Li Yanran discovered that this person was actually the man from that day.

Therefore, after her best friend pulled her into William Chen's fan group, she didn't refuse, and she secretly looked forward to learning more about him.

At this time, she saw someone @集主.

"When William Chen lived on the Upper East Side, it was easy to meet him. He would go for a run in Central Park tomorrow morning, but now he seldom lives there. He moved to his manor on Long Island, so it's not easy to see him."

Someone in the group asked:

"Isn't that far from downtown New York?"

"Can you stay at their company, maybe you can see it."

"Uh...he took a helicopter directly from the manor to the company. It's not easy to meet him."

Well, this kind of lifestyle of the super rich is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
