"Mr. Hilton, you know me?" Fang Jueyu felt a bit flattered. Although the combined wealth of everyone on the Forbes list couldn't compare to his, his name was nowhere to be found on the list, so logically, no one outside of Huaxia should know him.
"Hahaha, Mr. Fang, you shouldn't underestimate your own fame," Hilton laughed, "You're also underestimating the abilities of foreign journalists. In fact, people have always been keeping an eye on the various circles in Huaxia!"
You have to know that there are traces of Huaxia people living and studying all over the world. Although these people are abroad, they also pay attention to domestic events, and Fang Jueyu's series of actions left them dumbfounded.
With the current information dissemination capabilities of society, Fang Jueyu's fame naturally spread. Some information may not be known by ordinary people, but for someone like Hilton, it was easy to come across such news.
"Well, good news never travels far, but bad news travels a thousand miles!" Fang Jueyu awkwardly patted his head.
"Not necessarily, Mr. Fang. We've all heard about your donations of over a hundred billion in support of charity in Huaxia!" Hilton laughed, "The wealth you possess is truly astonishing!"
It's not just a thousand bucks. Even if the donation was only a billion, the overwhelming media coverage would be enough to make him a household name, let alone a hundred billion!
Hilton had calculated that Fang Jueyu's donation amounted to 220 billion RMB, which was about 31 billion US Dollars. Just this amount alone was enough to place him in the top thirty of the Forbes list, whereas even Hilton's net worth was barely over 40 billion US Dollars, including fixed assets!
If someone had that much money, would they give it all away? That was almost impossible, and upon thinking this through, it wasn't hard to guess that Fang Jueyu's net worth was far beyond 31 billion US Dollars!
"Hahaha, I didn't want to show off so much either," Fang Jueyu hadn't thought much about it when he made the donation. Who knew that when that group of internet trolls attacked him, those charitable organizations would stand up for him.
"I believe the next issue of Forbes magazine should feature your name, Mr. Fang!"
"Huh? Really?" Fang Jueyu was taken aback.
"It's not surprising. Since such a wealthy individual like you exists in the world, those people will quickly estimate your wealth and publish it!"
"Hah, I don't even know my own net worth; if they can figure it out, that would be a surprise!" Fang Jueyu snorted.
Hilton's expression visibly froze for a moment, as it was the first time in his life he'd heard such bold words.
In this world, many people prefer not to be famous. Don't be fooled by the fact that the current world's richest man, Jeff, has a net worth of over a hundred billion US Dollars. There might be others who are even wealthier, and perhaps this young man from Huaxia in front of him was one of them.
Huaxia has always been an ancient and mysterious country. A few years ago, at that auction, the existence of "that person" was a solid fact. There's nothing impossible in this tiger-and-dragon land.
However, Hilton never imagined that the son of "that person," whom countless wealthy people wanted to learn about, was standing right in front of him now.
"Mr. Fang, do you also know Queen Yisha'er?" The people who were invited to this event had all received personal invitations from Queen Yisha'er herself.
"Oh, the elders in my family have some connections with the Queen," Fang Jueyu said.
"I see, it seems Mr. Fang's family is quite extraordinary as well," Hilton wasn't surprised at all. Otherwise, what could make a 20-year-old young man possess such astonishing wealth?
"Is this Mr. Fang's first time attending such a banquet?"
"You noticed?" Fang Jueyu was a bit embarrassed, even though he'd hurriedly learned a lot about etiquette; this was his first time at such a social event, and he indeed felt a bit at a loss alone.
"I just happened to come by myself as well. How about I accompany you, Mr. Fang?" Hilton had his own little agenda. Getting to know Fang Jueyu could only bring advantages, not disadvantages, for him.
"I'd love that!" With someone alongside him, Fang Jueyu wouldn't feel so awkward.
The banquet was held in an open-air garden in the center of the castle. Gradually, the surroundings became brightly lit, and people were mingling, while Queen Yisha'er would be coming at seven when the banquet officially started. With half an hour left until the banquet's start, Fang Jueyu and Hilton found a spot to enjoy a drink.
About a few hundred people were present today, mostly royalty from England, renowned moguls from around the world, and world-class famous movie stars.
The circle of upper-class individuals wasn't too large, as many had business dealings and collaborations. While sitting there, many people came over to greet Hilton, and quite a few even recognized Fang Jueyu. It seemed not a few had done their homework on him.
"There are quite a few beauties, aren't there!" Although Fang Jueyu wasn't a philanderer, appreciating beauty is human nature. He preferred to look at these beauties with admiration and appreciation rather than a gaze filled with greed and aggression.
"See that one over there? That's Elcel from Turkey, ranked first on the global beauties list!" Hilton pointed at the beauty in the sea-blue gown not too far away, "And that's Watson; I'm sure you've seen her films, and there's Selena!"
Hilton grinned cheekily as he moved closer to Fang Jueyu's ear: "She's quite a treat!"
"And there's Angelina. During the Queen's birthday two years ago, we fooled around in the restroom for more than half an hour!"
Fang Jueyu's eyes widened, thinking to himself, you're a globally recognized tycoon, how could you suddenly become so sleazy?
"Hahaha, we're all men, what's there to be surprised about," Hilton patted Fang Jueyu's shoulder, "Don't let their untouchable goddess appearances fool you. Once they realize your wealth, they'll be all over you!"
"Some of these actresses only have their looks and bodies. Why do you think the Queen invited them to such social events? Hahahaha!" Seeing Fang Jueyu's inexperienced look, Hilton laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, host, you look so shocked!" Little Yi teased, "Your father has attended countless such banquets, believe it or not; during his time, he had six out of ten world-class beautiful women! Of course, he was only interested physically, otherwise, Miss Cao Lan would've sliced him up."
"Damn!" Fang Jueyu showed a look of contempt, "So my dad was a big philanderer, huh!"
