Hong Kong’s richest man, Li Ka-shing, has denied offering a set of get-rich-quick tips that have gone viral on the internet recently.
Li issued a statement via his foundation on Wednesday afternoon, saying an article carrying the tips purportedly made by him was actually not his work.
The article, titled “Li Ka-shing offers tips to buying cars and property within five years” and written in Chinese, has been circulated on discussion forums and social media since early this month.
On Facebook, a user posting a link to the article has attracted more than 10,000 likes, 12,000 shares and almost 500 comments so far. The author’s identity remains unclear.
The article says low-income earners can build up wealth and realise their dreams of buying property and cars quickly if they use their income wisely.
As an example it cites a person earning HK$2,000 a month, saying their income can be raised every year by dividing the income into five categories: for living, socialising, learning, travelling and investment.
