Lao Tzu said, "Woe is the source of fortune, and fortune is the source of misfortune.". It is true that things are unpredictable, and when a person loses something, he or she inadvertently gains other unexpected riches.
Sixteen years ago, a little Chinese girl was abandoned by her parents shortly after she was born, and fortunately, at the age of 2, she was adopted by a wealthy American businessman and his wife, and was given a home again. What's even more unimaginable is that her adoptive father has been ranked as the richest man in the world for 3 consecutive years since 2018, that is, the founder of Amazon - Bezos. If based on Bezos' current worth, the Chinese girl will be able to inherit her adoptive father's about $38 billion, or about 270 billion yuan in the future.
An abandoned baby girl in a parkTime goes back to a morning in the spring of 2004, when a group of morning walkers were dancing in a park in Changsha, Hunan province, a few moments after a break, when they vaguely heard a child's cry in the distant distance.
Following the direction of the sound, the women looked around, and soon found a baby in swaddling clothes in the grass not far away. A big mom hurriedly picked up the child, gently patted her, the child immediately stopped crying. The mothers discussed the need to rush the child to the police station.
Police found a note from the child's quilt, with the child's date of birth, and hoped that a kind person would adopt the child. From the date of birth, the little girl was born less than a week ago and was abandoned by her heartless parents.
Although our country has been reforming and opening up for many years, the cultural knowledge of the people has been improving, and the level of ideological awareness has also improved more than before, but in some families, preferring sons to daughters and raising children to prevent them from growing old is still y rooted in the mindset of the family, and if the family gives birth to a girl, it's very likely that she will be abandoned because of the economic situation, the child's illness, and the fear of the child's death. The fact is that the most important thing is the fact that you can't get the best out of your life, and that you can't get the best out of your life.
The child cannot choose her parents, and the little girl is doomed from birth not to live with her biological parents.
Adoptive parents from across the oceanAmazon founder Bezos and his wife, Mackenzie, both graduates of Princeton University, met, fell in love, and got married while working in New York City.
Bezos quit his job with Mackenzie in 1995 and traveled from New York to Seattle, where he started his entrepreneurial career,establishing the nation's first online retail company, Amazon.
Bezos and McKenzie husband and wife , career prosperity, family life is happy, they have three sons, only no daughter, which has become a couple of very big a regret .
Later, Bezos had the idea of adopting a daughter,a friend suggested that he adopt a Chinese child, saying that Chinese children are smart, healthy, beautiful and understanding. It was a good choice for the Bezos.
According to relevant data, nearly one-third of the foreign abandoned babies adopted by U.S. families came from China after the country began allowing foreigners to adopt Chinese abandoned babies in 1992.In 2006, The Bezos came to China, and they examined the development of e-commerce in China while they began to visit certain urban They began visiting orphanages in certain cities.
At an orphanage in Changsha, Hunan province, the Bezos caught the eye of a young girl with big, watery eyes. An aunt at the orphanage told the girl to call Bezos "uncle," and the girl not only did so, but also asked a mischievous question, "Who are you?"
It was the little girl's tender "Who are you?" that made the adults laugh. The Bezos were very happy, and at that moment, they felt a strong connection with the girl, who was the daughter they wanted to adopt. The cute little girl was the same baby girl who was abandoned in a park 2 years ago.
From orphanage to princess-like lifeSoon, The Bezos adopted the little girl and brought her back to the United States. From then on, the little girl had a mom, a dad, and an older brother, and instead of living with the children in the orphanage, she had a home of her own.
Bezos wasn't the richest man in the world when he adopted her, but he was pretty well off. The little girl lived in a villa, with multiple servants in the house to take care of her food and clothing. In the blink of an eye, the little girl lived like a princess, a truly radical change.
She was abandoned less than a week after she was born, and she may never know who or where her birth parents are, or why they abandoned her in the park in the first place, but she was incredibly lucky to be adopted by a wealthy American businessman, and could grow up happily in a very privileged home. The family loved her, and Bezos and Mackenzie treated her as if she were their own.
Bezos is a businessman who values family life, and would choose to spend more of his time outside of work with his children, which he enjoys even more now that he has both children.
Amazon is said not to have morning meetings, as Bezos' main theme is to "enjoy breakfast time with the family***." So Bezos eats breakfast with his kids every day. Not only that, even if he's busy at work, he still finds time to study and play with his kids.
In her new home, the little girl's adoptive parents not only provide her with a financial environment that most people her age can't compare to, but also a good family atmosphere, which is sure to make her happy every day.
Potential to inherit $38 billion family fortuneAmazon.com has become the world's No. 1 e-commerce platform after more than two decades of development, occupying nearly half of the U.S. e-commerce market. In 2018, Bezos became the world's richest man for the first time, and continued to top the global billionaire list for the next 2 years.
Sadly, on January 9, 2019, Bezos and McKenzie ended their 25-year marriage, and as a result, Bezos paid the most expensive divorce ever, with McKenzie splitting $36 billion. Despite the large sum split, it still had no effect on Bezos' position as the world's richest man, and he still surpassed Bill Gates in wealth.
At this time, people are more concerned about whether the little Chinese girl, who was adopted by Bezos and is now 16 years old, has the right to inherit her adoptive father's huge family fortune. According to U.S. law, adopted daughters have the same inheritance rights as biological children. If so, the little girl will also get a quarter of her adoptive father Bezos' family fortune.
Since 2020, Amazon's stock price has gone through the roof. As of the end of April, Bezos' current worth was $143.1 billion, based on Amazon's stock market capitalization, and if that asset is followed, then Little Miss could inherit $38 billion of the family fortune.
It's really a case of fate.
Adopted by the world's richest man, The girl will become the world's richest woman overnight if she inherits $38 billion in family assets in the future.
The little girl is unfortunate, born less than a week after being abandoned by her birth parents; she is lucky, at the age of 2 years old was kindly adopted by her foster parents, so that she has a warm home. The little girl grew up with not only generous material conditions, but also the unfailing love of her adoptive parents and the company of her three older brothers, which allowed her to grow up healthier and happier than if she had lived in an orphanage, materially as well as psychologically.
Today, the little girl's adoptive father has been ranked as the world's richest man for three consecutive years, and if at some point in the future she inherits a $38 billion family fortune, her life reversal from an abandoned baby to the world's richest woman is unique in the world.
