Xu Bo, the founder of one of China’s 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 China’s largest mobile gaming companies. Despite the 48-year-old entrepreneur growing his company in Guangzhou, he’s not looking to pass down his $1.1 billion fortune to a child born in his home country. A Wall Street Journal investigation into Xu’s 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 billionaire’s 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 Musk’s children in the future. Last month, Xu’s ex-girlfriend also alleged that he had 300 children living around the world—a claim his company denied.......................

12. I am so glad it healed itself

It would be quite disconcerting

2. Just this kind of story should explain what a billionaire is to the undereducated

Have a billion? Have a hundred children?

Each of them will have 100 million or more to inherit …

8. and will own everything.

3. Musk is on the same path.................

5. Even fathers who are very involved in their children's lives have children who reject

Daddy’s plans for their lives. Threatening to cut off the purse strings will give them some leverage, but they may be surprised and disappointed at how this eventually plays out.

Oh well.

6. I agree. Even two or three children fight like cats and dogs over the inheritance.

This will be a nightmare.

7. Good grief.

This sounds like some or of a peril.

9. Wasn't this the wet dream of Jeffrey Epstein?

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....
