Wealth Preservation: A 1,750-Year Plan

Did you know Elon Musk’s wealth is more than the Gross Domestic Product of majority of all countries?

“Elon Musk’s net worth, which exceeded $500 billion in October 2025, surpasses the gross domestic product (GDP) of a majority of the world’s countries, with estimates suggesting that roughly 110 countries have less economic output than his personal wealth.” Source: interactivebrokers.com

However, we do not need that much of money to enable the next generation and the next and well, next, next and maybe another 350 generations??!! The below shows how a Hong Kong property tycoon thinks well ahead to ensure the wealth in the family is preserved for hundreds of generations to come. Do read and understand how this clever man left his fortune to the next generation.

Article in vnexpress.net. The late Hong Kong property tycoon Hui Sai Fun left behind an estimated HK$42 billion (US$5.35 billion) fortune in a way that would take his descendants, including his only surviving son, 1,750 years to spend.

Instead of dividing his wealth among heirs as is typical, Hui placed his entire fortune into a trust that pays HK$2 million per month for fifteen members of his family, including his son Julian Hui, according to 163.

This decision by the tycoon, who died at age 97 in 2018, shocked the Hong Kong media, which at the time called him a “stingy billionaire,” while Julian and his wife became the subject of ridicule.

But those familiar with the family’s history know that the way Hui handled his assets reflected his character, long-term vision and deep understanding of his son’s personality. Read the full article here: Article in vnexpress.net.

Just US$5.25 billion and it could last 1,750 years…

Even this amount is already obscenely unbelievable. If someone were to spend US$1 million every month, it would take 437 years to finish spending the total. However, when someone is not careful, it is still possible to spend it much faster than US$1 million per month yeah. It would be spending on things which are unbelievable simply because there’s just too much money that one may not even know what else to do with it besides spending and spending and maybe even throwing parties for friends.

Maybe chartering the whole luxury cruise liner and bring a few hundred friends along for a ride? Haha. Well, the money could also save children from dying from hunger all around the world too. No idea how this could become true in the future. Any thoughts all my dear readers?
