Wealthy top China KOL rebuked for linking massive deposits to daughter’s job at bank
Education influencer with 26 million followers sparks controversy, says he will deposit wealth in bank daughter works at to secure her career path
A well-known education influencer in China has sparked controversy by suggesting he would deposit hundreds of millions of yuan into the bank where his daughter gets a job to help support her career.
Zhang Xuefeng, who has more than 26.5 million followers on a major social media platform, ignited controversy online over his bold statements about using his funds to pave his daughter’s career path.
During a live streaming session, Zhang, who is recognised for advising parents on selecting majors for their children said.
“If my daughter does not excel academically, I will have her randomly earn a simple bachelor’s degree and then secure a job for her at a bank.
“The reason is straightforward. I run two companies each with more than a hundred million yuan (US$14 million) in savings. I will deposit my money in whichever bank she works for.”
