Biography
- Zong Fuli, also known as Kelly, is the daughter of beverage giant Hangzhou Wahaha Group's late founder Zong Qinghou.
- Her wealth is based on a company stake inherited in 2024, after the elder Zong passed away earlier in the year.
- Once Wahaha's chairman and CEO, Kelly stepped down in September 2025.
- She already stepped down once in 2024, before being reinstated months later after resolving an unspecified shareholder dispute at the time.
- In 2025, she was sued in Hong Kong over $2.1 billion worth of trust assets by three plaintiffs who claim to be her half siblings.
- Started in Hangzhou in 1987, the company's name Wahaha mimics the sound of a laughing child.
