Samsung family history
Lee Kun-hee, the boss of Samsung Group, died at the age of 78, leaving a legacy of about 1 156 billion yuan, and integrating about 173 billion US dollars. Lee Kun-hee has three living children, all of whom are celebrities with successful careers in Korea. His son Lee Jae-yong ranks fourth in the rich list of Korea. So who will spend this legacy?

1, family history of Samsung Group As we all know, Samsung enterprises in South Korea basically cover all aspects of Korean life, so Li Jianxi of Samsung Group has always topped the list of rich people in South Korea. Li Jianxi is a legend. Under his leadership, Samsung Group suddenly became one of the most influential technology companies in Asia from a very ordinary factory. Li Jianxi has four children. After the accident of the youngest daughter, the three children managed the different businesses of Samsung Group, among which the eldest son was mainly responsible for electronics and finance, the second daughter was responsible for hotels and chemicals, and the third daughter was mainly responsible for clothing and advertising. Although it seems fair, everyone knows that he invested his main business in his eldest son, Lee Jae-yong, because electronics and finance are the most important core industries of Samsung.

Obviously, the distribution of this legacy should be more owned by Lee Jae-yong. Lee Jae-yong has always been regarded as an heir to accompanying cultivation. Among the children, only three daughters have never suffered from love, and the rest have been entangled in marriage affairs. Although they have been deeply involved in these disputes, and because these disputes have affected enterprises, several children are excellent. They have regained their strength and mastered the economic lifeline of South Korea to some extent.

2. Why should we levy a high estate tax? Li Jianxi left a legacy of US$ 654.38+US$ 07.3 billion, but if we want to inherit this legacy, we have to pay inheritance tax as high as US$ 7 billion, which is equivalent to spitting out half of the money we ate. This inheritance tax can be paid in five years, or it can be given up because of the high inheritance tax. Things are far from being as simple as we thought. How to divide the inheritance among the three children will definitely be discussed internally, and some may even be generated because of this huge tax.

Many people don't understand why Li Jianxi didn't do reasonable tax avoidance before his death. After all, many rich people like to use his legacy to set up a special fund and then leave it to the Commissioner, so that they can avoid taxes reasonably. I guess it may be because Li Jianxi's illness was too sudden. China is the only country among major economies that does not levy inheritance tax. Other countries want to levy inheritance tax, mainly to avoid serious capitalist profiteering, ensure a certain social fair order, and avoid the gap between the rich and the poor.

In Japan, because some people can't afford the inheritance tax, they don't inherit it directly, but this will never happen in Lee Jae-yong. Although nearly half of it will be spit out, it is a huge fortune, and the only concern left is how the three brothers and sisters divide it next.
