影帝 - 好大一棵树

Published: October 25, 2012, by The New York Times

The Wen Family Empire

Beginning with diamonds in the 1990s, the relatives of Wen Jiabao amassed a fortune by forming a complex business network that bought stakes in sectors as varied as real estate and telecommunications. Corporate records reviewed by The Times show that a tight-knit group of about 20 relatives and friends made investments that were sometimes aided by Asia’s wealthiest tycoons. By far the biggest source of the wealth came from investments in Ping An Insurance, China’s biggest financial services company. Related Article »

*Values of Ping An shares are figured as of January or October 2007 (latest records available), except where asterisked. Asterisked values are as of 2004. Shares attributed to Duan Weihong were owned through her mother. Those owned by Qu Naijie were through his company, Dalian Haichang. Those owned by Cheng Yu-Tung and Zheng Jianyuan were through multiple investment vehicles.

An earlier version of this graphic referred incorrectly to Li Ka-Shing’s son, Richard Li. He does not in fact control part of the Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa.
