Book Analysis: Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
It’s hard to say whether the Western World has a clear idea just how wealthy some of the Chinese families in Asia are. Families like the Sys (of the SM Investments Sy from the Philippines), Lee (from the Samsung Lee of South Korea), Kwoks (from the Sun Hung Kai Properties Kwok of Hong Kong), or the Chearavanonts (from the Charoen Pokphand Group Chearavanont of Thailand) to name some.
