Xu Bo, the founder of one of Chinas largest mobile gaming companies, is looking to have 50 high-quality sons in the U.S. to take over his billion-dollar empire.
Billionaires like Telegram founder Pavel Durov and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have fathered legions of children who are slated to inherit their empires. Now, an ultra-wealthy Chinese businessman is doing the same in the U.S., in hopes of producing around 20 U.S.-born children to inherit his video game fortune.
Xu Bo is the founder and chairman of Guangzhou Duoyi Network: one of Chinas largest mobile gaming companies. Despite the 48-year-old entrepreneur growing his company in Guangzhou, hes not looking to pass down his $1.1 billion fortune to a child born in his home country. A Wall Street Journal investigation into Xus surrogacy history in the U.S. found that the Chinese billionaire was seeking parental rights to at least four unborn children, and had previously fathered and was actively fathering at least eight more surrogacy kids. There could be dozens more.
The billionaires video game company had also reportedly stated that Xu has more than 100 children born through surrogates based in the U.S., according to WSJ reporting. He was allegedly seeking 50 high-quality sons, according to accounts linked to Xu on Chinese microblogging website Weibo, and said that having more children can solve all problems. During a 2023 court hearing, Xu also said he hoped to have around 20 U.S.-born children to one day take over his business, according to WSJ. He also fantasized about his American kids marrying Musks children in the future. Last month, Xus ex-girlfriend also alleged that he had 300 children living around the worlda claim his company denied.......................

Oh well.

(40,019 posts)Epstein had the idea to set up some kind of a genius sperm bank that collected the seed from geniuses and billionaires. Then he wanted to artificially inseminate young, healthy women with the seed from those men. I don't think he actually started doing it, but he formed friendships with the potential donors, such as Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates, and I'm sure there were others.
So it looks like the Xu Bo has the same idea and he decided to do it all on his own. Of course there will be no guarantee that his own offspring will be "geniuses" or "billionaires." They could become drug addicts or alcoholics, and they could blow the entire fortune in Las Vegas. Also I'm wondering why does he say they're all boys? Didn't he produce any girls? Or maybe he has both, and then he disowned the girls....
