The 28-year-old only son of China’s richest man, Wang Jianlin who is worth £23 billion, has just set the internet on fire after he bought his dog, Coco – an Alaskan Malamute, eight iPhone 7 handsets.

According to a Dailymail, pictures emerged on China’s social media showing the lucky canine posing next to a stack of eight boxes believed to contain a £800 phone in each which its eccentric owner, Wang Sicong, who was educated at Winchester College in UK bought for her.

The new photos were uploaded by Wang Sicong who is already worth £430 million to the dog’s very own social media account on Weibo, which has nearly 1.9 million followers.

The images were posted in the afternoon of September 16, the first day the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 went on sale.

Under the category of Conspicuous Consumption.
This was in poor taste, and not at all diplomatic. His son will only gain more people envious of him and eager for his fall from privilege.
This is an upper class Japanese version of a Rap Video, where the cornrowed rapper rolls around in a bed covered with stacks and stacks of $100.Dollar Bills.

Correction: I should have described it as a Chinese version
of a Rap Video, not Japanese.

I wouldn’t care if I was worth that kind of money - if someone in my family bought even ONE electronic device for an animal, I’d beat the crap out of them, then kick them out of the house for a good long while - to fend for themselves.

This is more about the stupidity of the parents in spoiling the (also stupid) kid, than the kid himself.

There are many things that dog would want to have. An iPhone is not one of them?

Why does he hate his dog? And why does the dog have 8 boxes but only 7 iphones.

Beautiful animal.

Some dogs are just awesome to look at: the Malamute and the Australian Shepherd are two of my favorites.

But, since my wife and I have allergies, we have a poodle that doesn't shed. We keep him trimmed very short during the hot summers, so he isn't much to look at. But, he's an awesome dog.

Beautiful as all malamutes are. Deserves 8 phones. But probably prefers 8 t- bone steaks

So the photo leads the writer to conclude the phones are for the dog? Seems a tad stupid. Maybe he bought the dog to protect his 8 iPhones...

Wonder if he got them for what it costs to make them in China? That would have set him back about $40.
