Mondo Finance Updated on 2024-02-15

No matter how much wealth is accumulated, it will eventually return to the individual and the family. Whether it is the first generation or the rich second generation, they can't withstand the impact of marriage. Divorce is jokingly called "asset restructuring", but the impact is usually a significant shrinkage of negative assets, and the change of the actual controller of the stock price is the death behind the "asset restructuring".

1 The most "pit" divorce of a generation: the ex-wife of the chairman of Collaborative Communications (01613) frantically smashed the pit and bitter shareholders.

2 The most "painful" divorce of the rich second generation: the "eldest princess" of Samsung Group, who chased after the poor boy of the security guard, suffered domestic violence during pregnancy, and posted 8.6 billion won to the man after the divorce.

In recent years, Huawei has been the leader of domestic mobile phones, and everyone seems to have forgotten the craze for Samsung a few years ago. Even so, Samsung, as South Korea's largest multinational company, is not only in the mobile phone business, and this setback has not affected its overall development momentum in the slightest. According to the financial report released by Samsung, Samsung's total revenue in the third quarter of 2018 was $57.5 billion, and its net profit reached 11.5$500 million. Combining the profits of the first and second quarters of 2018, Samsung's profits in the first three quarters of 2018 combined with a whopping 321500 million US dollars, or about 225 billion yuan.

South Korea's Samsung Group Lee Kun-hee's eldest daughter Li Fuzhen, 45 years old, as the eldest princess of South Korea's richest man, Lee Fu-jin has been known for her beauty since she was a child, graduated from Yonsei University, a famous university in South Korea, and her personality is very similar to Lee Kun-hee, and she was carefully cultivated by her father in her 20s. After she took over the Shilla Hotel, it took less than 15 years to increase the hotel's sales from 430.4 billion won at that time to 325 trillion won, an increase of more than 650 won. She has become the richest woman in South Korea, and according to Forbes magazine, her net worth is estimated to reach 17$200 million.

In addition to being a strong woman with a lot of business acumen, Li Fuzhen is also very persistent in love. Compared with obeying his parents' orders and marrying Li Jae-yong, the brother of Lin Shiling, the daughter of the honorary president of the food industry Elephant Group, Li Fuzhen is more willing to find someone he likes. This is difficult to accept in the eyes of his father Li Kunxi, but Li Fuzhen's failed marriage was also "matched" by him.

At that time, Li Fuzhen had just graduated from college and came to Samsung Group ** to do volunteer work, but Li Jianxi was not worried about the safety of his baby daughter, so he assigned a security guard around him to "take care" of his daughter, but he never expected that this security guard would become his daughter's boyfriend, and later became his son-in-law.

This security guard's name is Ren Youzai, he is not handsome, has no money, and his job is not very good, but Li Fuzhen likes him. Lee Kun-hee naturally disagreed with them being together, but the two secretly stayed together for 4 years. Later, Lee Fu-jin insisted on marrying what she thought was "love", and Lee Kun-hee had no choice but to agree to this family affair no matter how much he objected.

Later, it turned out that the identity gap is not only the gap between money and status, but also the gap in spiritual pursuit. Ren Youzai married Li Fuzhen, but he still didn't want to make progress. sent him to the United States to study business, and he was so painful that he wanted to "commit suicide"; Airborne as the deputy general manager of Samsung Electronics, is also a dou who can't be helped; The most hateful thing is that he also has a bad habit of drinking, and even punched and kicked the pregnant Li Fuzhen when he was drunk.

The original beautiful yearning for love came to naught after marriage, and Li Fuzhen couldn't stand Ren Youzai anymore and filed for divorce in 2014. Suddenly abandoned, Ren Youzai actually proposed to divide Li Fuzhen's property. In order to get rid of this person as soon as possible, Li Fuzhen had no choice but to give 8.6 billion won of family property to Ren Youjae.

This sky-high breakup fee may not be worth it for outsiders, but this is a good thing for Li Fuzhen. She is finally relieved, and in the future she will have more time to focus on her work, and she will no longer be bound by this failed marriage, believing that her future will be better.

Case Analysis] The marriage of the rich second generation can always affect the hearts of many parties, and the richer the family, the more influential it is on a region and even a country. The wealthy generation devotes a lot of time and energy to the marriage of their children, and although they can handle many affairs in the business world with ease, they are not handy in dealing with some family issues. The actual controllers of many enterprises are troubled by their own marital events.

Although Lee Boo-jin, mentioned above, lost 8.6 billion won because of an unladylike encounter, she was lucky compared to her sister. Lee Boo-jin's youngest sister Lee Yoon-hin fell in love with a handsome racing driver, and after Lee Kun-hee found out, she forcibly intervened, feeling that her daughter had been deceived and beat the mandarin duck, and the relationship eventually ended with Lee Yoon-xin's suicide. I don't know if Lee Kun-hee will regret his arbitrariness and loneliness, in the eyes of the powerful Lee Kun-hee, his daughter's marriage is not his own business, but the business of the whole family. Not only that, but the strong alliance between the wealthy families is a ladder to further consolidate their family status, and shrewd businessmen will not easily let go of this opportunity.

In addition to the above reasons, another reason is that once the marriage fails, the problem of property division will become very tricky, and at the same time, they will have to bear the pressure. Many wealthy generations do not have time to do wealth planning before their children get married, and even deliberately transfer family property to their children on a large scale before and after their children get married. The reason for this is related to the traditional Chinese concept, one is that the children who don't want to lose their own work have already taken over some of the industries in the hands of their parents before they got married, such as Li Fuzhen, and when they took over the impact of Silla, the more vulnerable they were. Through constant appeals, Ren Woo-jae finally got a huge check for the rest of his life. But for Li Fuzhen, not only lost half of his net worth, but also burdened his family and public opinion.

on pressure. More seriously, such large-scale first-century divorces are more likely to involve the operation of the corporate group, and once the divorce is made, the shares may be diluted and the actual controller of the company may change. This brings with it a series of unavoidable risks and crises.
