I accounted for him, with the part about “other rich businessmen in Hong Kong.”
But, even his wealth, pales in comparison to what the British and Americans made from Hong Kong and China, in their illegal and immoral opium trade.
Realize that Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the American president, who never held a job in his entire life, and became the president, was the offspring of wealthy opium smugglers.
Harvard and Yale, built their endowment money from the opium trade.
Forbes, and all the other big American businessmen, yup, all drug money from opium.
An uncomfortable fact, is that a lot of American riches, are built on the blood of a lot of dead Chinese drug addicts. Unsurprisingly, this fact is never discussed in American history textbooks. It is far easier to just brush this under the rug, and ignore it, and let history forget about it.
