Son of China's Richest Man Buys Eight iPhone 7s for His Dog

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.

My sons put the dog’s paw print as the “fingerprint” unlock on my wife’s iphone. They had the biggest laugh watching my wife run around and try to get the dog every time the phone rang. It was a fun couple of days around my house.

I've spent some time in China in my day.My first visit was in 1980...my most recent was two years ago.As a result of what I've learned I can pretty much guarantee that this guy grew up in conditions that would rival the worst you'd see in a Fourth World cesspool.Give tons of money to someone who grew up like a savage and this is what happens.

My chow looks a lot happier when he’s got a dried out bullfrog to chew on.

My name is Wang Longlost. I was separated from my father and brother many years ago during a Nigerian safari. If someone could loan me a few billion $ so I could reunite with them, I’d reward you handsomely.

I’d like to get in on that action. Do you take 4th party out-of-state checks or Confederate money?

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

Those are also my favorites to look at, but their character is very different. Malamute owners have told me their dogs are too independent and not easily trained. I have two Aussies and could not hope for more trainable and affectionate dogs, although they are not very social toward strangers or other dogs. They are intensely alert and bond to you like glue.
