China's richest man is an adoptee
FYI - Dr. Zhengrong Shi, or the Sun King, is a leading solar scientist and according to Forbes magazine is the richest man in China and the fourth richest in Australia. He is estimated to be worth 3 billion dollars and is the inventor of 11 patents in Photo Voltaic or solar technology. Dr Shi Zhengrong is the founder and Chief Executive of Suntech Power, China's largest solar manufacturer.
I just heard this on Australia's ABC Radio's regular "Saturday Extra" program (see 7:30am, 23 February, an article titled, "China - The Sun King") and the radio host mentioned at the end that he is also an adoptee - she'd mentioned this as part of her comment that he has an amazing background. The interview is downloadable from the ABC Radio web site.
I'm just posting this since I think it's valuable to have positive role models for inter-country adoptees.
