Alibaba’s founder, Jack Ma, 51, with current estimated net worth of US$29,800,000,000 according to Forbes Magazine, has recently bought a chateau in Bordeaux, France. This lovely city is only three hours by train from Paris, France.
My kids and I joined a wine and culinary tour in Bordeaux and Saint Emillion in June 2014.
Called Chateau de Sours or Castle of Sours, the 85 hectare property includes an 18th century chateau. Buying vineyards in France has become a status symbol and good business investments to diversify their property holdings for wealthy Chinese. It’s also an opportunity because China is one of the top export markets for cheaper wines produced in Bordeaux.
