China’s real estate magnate Hui Ka Yan loses 93 per cent of his wealth

Beijing [China], January 22 (ANI): The chairman of an embattled Chinese real estate developer, Hui Ka Yan, Chairman of Evergrande Group has seen his wealth drop from USD 42 billion to USD 3 billion as the country’s formerly hot property market continues to slow, reported The Sydney Morning Herald (SMH).

Hui, once one of China’s richest and most influential titans, bridging business and high-level politics lost 93 per cent of his fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Once the second-richest person in Asia, the China Evergrande Group chairman’s fortune is considerably diminished, moreover, Hui is also finding himself increasingly isolated politically, with the latest signal coming from the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

CPPCC is an elite group comprising government officials and the biggest names in the business. Hui had been part of the political advisory body since 2008 and of its elite 300-member standing committee since 2013, but he was told not to attend the annual convention last year as his property empire became the biggest casualty of the nation’s credit crunch, reported SMH.

Now he’s not even included on the latest list of those who’ll form the CPPCC for the next five years, which was released on Wednesday.

The new CPPCC members will head to Beijing in March for the group’s 14th National Committee to discuss everything from political and social issues to new laws and the nation’s growth.

“The CPPCC role is like an honorary reward that China gives to faithful business people to make contributions to the country,” said Willy Lam, an adjunct professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong who has authored several books about Chinese politics.

Not only Hui, but Shimao Group Holdings Ltd.’s Hui Wing Mau, Guangzhou RF Properties Co. co-founder Zhang Li and Hoi Kin Hong of Powerlong Real Estate Holdings are among the property magnates no longer part of the CPPCC, reported SMH.

The move reflects China’s shifting attitude toward developers, many of whom have fallen from grace amid a years-long real estate crisis that threatens the broader economy.

President Xi Jinping’s “common prosperity” drive to redistribute wealth has led to crackdowns in several industries. For the real estate sector, the imposition of a strict “three red lines” policy to curb debt has exacerbated a crisis that’s affecting banks, trust firms and millions of homeowners.

Moreover, under the impact of the continuous stringent “zero-COVID” policy, coupled with a two-year brutal regulatory crackdown, Chinese tycoons last year saw their fortunes plunge by the most significant amount in more than two decades.

“It’s not surprising at all that property tycoons like Hui, who created trouble in the property sector with their over-leveraging, are out of the list,” said Lam.

Evergrande first defaulted on dollar bonds in 2021 and has more than USD 16 billion of outstanding dollar notes.

After missing several self-imposed deadlines to deliver a preliminary restructuring blueprint, it proposed a restructuring plan this week with two options, people familiar with the matter said. Its shares have been suspended for almost a year after the company failed to report 2021 results, and PwC resigned as its auditor on Monday.

Shimao, also a defaulter, has had its stock suspended since last March. RF’s Zhang was arrested in London last month on US bribery charges and is currently confined to his five-bedroom penthouse apartment after posting a record USD 16 million bail. Powerlong, another crisis casualty, has lost more than 80 per cent of its value from a 2021 peak, reported SMH.

According to Bloomberg’s wealth index, China’s five richest property tycoons lost about USD 65 billion combined in the past two years. (ANI)
