Chinese robot vacuum maker Dreame gives gifts of gold and trip to Antarctica to employees
Dreame’s surprise largesse reflects its robust business growth in 2025, as it remains one of the world’s top robot vacuum cleaner brands

Yu said every employee will receive a one-gram gold bonus in addition to their standard year-end payout. The company also planned to reward 10 employees with a trip to Antarctica, he added.
The company’s total gold giveaway would cost roughly 26 million yuan (US$3.7 million), as retail gold prices currently hovered at 1,400 yuan per gram, according to a report by Hongxin News, which based that sum on an estimated internal staff count of around 18,500.
Dreame declined to comment on Monday.
The surprise reward underscored Dreame’s robust business growth this year, as Chinese robot vacuum cleaner vendors continued to dominate the global market.
