In 2009, a photo of a person wearing a school uniform with milk tea became a hot topic.
Acquired 1% stake in investment specialist ‘Tenchang Group’
A survey revealed that Zhang Zetian, a celebrity known to the public as the ‘milk tea girl’, is the richest female student at Tsinghua University.
On the 9th, Vietnamese media VN Express reported on the list of alumni of China’s most successful universities surveyed by Hurun, an economic and financial research company.
According to reports, among Chinese universities, the schools that produced the most billionaires were Tsinghua University and Zhejiang University, with 32 each.
In particular, Zhang Zetian, a graduate of Tsinghua University, was found to be the richest female student at her alma mater, with assets worth 60 billion yuan (about 8.4 billion dollars, about 11.0922 trillion won) at the age of 30.
In 2015, Zhang Zetian married Liu Changdong, the founder and chairman of JD.com, who gained fame as a successful entrepreneur from a ‘dirt spoon’. The two met at Columbia University in the United States in 2013, became lovers, and became a couple after overcoming their 19-year age gap.
In November 2020, Zhang Zetian became China’s youngest female billionaire by acquiring a 1% stake in ‘Tenchang Group’, an investment company established with former Chairman Liu’s name and her own name.
Zhang Zetian, who is from Jiangsu Province, China and was born in 1993, became famous in 2009 when a photo of her holding milk tea with an innocent face wearing a school uniform became known online in China and Korea, giving her the nickname ‘Milk Tea Girl’.
Zhang Zetian, who entered China’s prestigious Tsinghua University in 2011, received a casting offer from China’s world-renowned film director Zhang Yimou, but reportedly declined due to academic reasons.
Even after marriage, he received attention by regularly participating in international fashion weeks and the Cannes Film Festival. According to Sina.com, he is considered one of the most influential figures in the Chinese fashion industry.
