Wang Sicong

Wang Sicong (Chinese: 王思聪; pinyin: Wáng Sīcōng; born January 3, 1988) is a Chinese businessman and the only son of Chinese tycoon Wang Jianlin.

Wang Sicong was born in Dalian, Liaoning, China, in 1988. His father Wang Jianlin is the chairman of the Dalian Wanda Group, China's largest real estate developer, as well as the world's largest movie theater operator.

When Wang was young, he studied at Swiss School in Singapore and then studied at Winchester College in United Kingdom. After graduating from Winchester College, he entered into the UCL (University College London) Department of Philosophy. However, there is no evidence testifying that he successfully graduated from UCL.

Wang is the chairman of Prometheus Capital, a private equity company he founded with 500 million RMB that his father gave to him. He is a director of the Dalian Wanda Group.

In 2011 Wang founded the professional esports organization Invictus Gaming (iG). IG went on to win The International 2012 Dota 2 championship the next year, as well as the League of Legends Worlds Championship in 2018. 2015, Sicong launched Panda TV, an e-sports streaming channel designed to compete with Amazon's Twitch.

Wang reportedly spent US$516.7 million on the construction of the Wanda Reign seven-star hotel in Shanghai, which opened in June 2016. The hotel was designed by the British architect Norman Foster.

Wang also founded the music management company Banana Culture in 2015. It currently manages the Chinese promotions for Korean pop groups T-ara and EXID.

Wang is often referred to as "The People's husband", “China’s most eligible bachelor”, and "China's Richest Son".

While Wang is considered one of the most important figures in China's nascent esports scene, he openly embraces his playboy celebrity persona in the style of Tony Stark, throwing extremely lavish parties, posting pictures which flaunt his wealth, and regularly trading barbs with A-list celebrities.
