5 China and Hong Kong scions who are stand-outs in the world of business
Jonathan Zeman, Brandon Chau, Wang Sicong, Adam Kwok and Eric Fok, who were born into wealthy families, have all made a success of themselves
Growing up as the child of fabulously wealthy parents who run hugely successful family businesses is not always easy.
If they rest on their laurels they will be criticised, but if they go to work for their parents they will not always get the credit they deserve when things go well.
Yet some of these children have shown they are determined to prove themselves – by working just as hard – sometimes even harder than their parents – to show that they deserve the respect of people in the business world.
Here we look at five scions who have impressed with their efforts to make a success of themselves.
Brandon Chau
Chau, the son of the late Hong Kong socialite, fashion icon and lawyer Chau Kai-bong and Brenda Chau – a glamorous couple known for wearing tailor-made outfits and their passion for life – shares many similarities with his parents.
His passion for bespoke clothing and luxurious lifestyle accessories inspired him to launch his own bespoke menswear business, Attire House, which includes a store in Central.
The martial artist, philanthropist, and socialite, who started out as a barrister, also set up Noblesse Lifestyle Group, a luxury bedding and lifestyle company.
