Billionaire Tran Le Hoa passed away on April 7 in Beijing.
After decades of unremitting efforts, Ms. Chen Lihua's assets have accumulated to about 60 billion yuan and once put her in third place in the list of the richest people in China in 2018.
According to the Hurun Global Businesswoman 2026 list, her net worth is currently 47 billion yuan, ranking 12th.
Before her death, previous reports said that Ms. Tran Le Hoa made a will a few years ago to prevent disputes between her children.
According to many sources, each of her children will receive about 10 billion yuan, while the rest belongs to "Duong Tang" Tri Trong Thuy.
Her core assets include two main sources: Phu Hoa International Group, where she holds the position of Honorary President, and the Chinese Zitong Wood Museum, where she holds the role of curator.
Some sources say that these 2 assets will be divided independently: The Group will belong to the children, and the wooden museum belongs to Tri Trong Thuy.
Ms. Tran Le Hoa has one son and 2 daughters, all of whom are involved in managing Phu Hoa International Group; her son holds the position of Chairman, while the daughters are all directors.
The zither wood museum is not only of high economic value but also proof of the love of Tran Le Hoa and Tri Trong Thuy, when the two joined hands to build it.
The construction cost of the wood museum is estimated at 200 million yuan, with an extremely valuable collection, thanks to which Tri Trong Thuy is expected to inherit nearly 27 billion yuan (about 4 billion USD).
In recent years, despite owning a huge fortune, Tri Trong Thuy still maintains an independent life, continues to do business and regularly livestreams sales, and participates in promotional events. He always shows that he does not care about his wife's wealth.
In a 2024 interview, Tri Trong Thuy shared: "My wife and I not only respect each other but also have deep respect for each other. Many friends once asked me if I felt pressure or fear when living next to Tran Le Hoa - who is richer and older than me.
But since getting married, I have never felt like that. Thirty years have passed quickly, every day is busy, which makes us cherish every moment together even more.
