Hong Kong is known for it’s spiraling towers that dwarf the sky. It is also very expensive to live in.

The company is committed to providing a high level of customer service and has won numerous awards and accolades for its performance in the real estate industry.
What does all of this have to do with inheritance? Alex Shih is the son of Wing-Ching Shih who is the founder of Centaline Property Agency Limited. Shih donated his share of the company his $US400 million ($A564 million) around 10 years ago. This is similar to other celebrity parents who have left their children nothing and donated everything to charity. People like the elder Shih want their children to be humble and their actions reflect that. However, Shih’s children no doubt have a vast wealth of resources and connections to fall back on. They will be setup for life, even without the money, as their father no doubt paid for their education and they have a network of people to rely on for future job offers.
The heir to a real estate magnate isn’t getting a dime of his father’s $400 million dollar fortune, but there are no HARD FEELINGS OVER IT!
