The succession issue: Like father, unlike son

Unlike most of his peers, Wang Sicong, the son of real estate tycoon Wang Jianlin, was educated abroad from an early age. He did his primary school in Singapore, middle school in the United Kingdom, and then in University College, London.

After returning to China, Wang became a board member in his father's Wanda Group and chairman of Prometheus Capital, a private equity investment firm which was supported by his father with 500 million yuan ($80.6 million) of investment.

Wang is called the "national husband" by many people on Sina Weibo and regarded as the country's most eligible bachelor.
