Chen Guangbiao is worth $740 million, but that’s not the most interesting thing about the Chinese businessman who’s trying to buy the New York Times — no, that would be that he’s the Most Influential Person of China, Most Prominent Philanthropist of China, AND China Earthquake Rescue Hero. Killer resume, bro.
That’s according to Guangbiao’s business card, which reads like a lost-in-translation Chinese food restaurant (“America #1 Food Cuisine”). Guangbiao’s Wiki entry on China.org notes that he’s “famous for his high-profile but questionably motivated charity drive.” That can’t be true — people with business cards are always honest folk.
